Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #218 and the generated .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.prefs and .classpath entries described in the issue. Trace where APT generated-class directories are converted to absolute paths; done means relative paths remain relative and Eclipse no longer rewrites them incorrectly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The conversion to absolute paths introduced in version 4.4.0 with the PR #218 causes issues in our Eclipse IDE setup, which leads from our previous relative paths to absolute one in .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.prefs which Eclipse itself turns to relative ones by removing the first slash from the absolute path while creating the corresponding entries in .classpath. Can we ensure that relative paths remain as is?
