Currently a bundle entry e.g. looks like <bundle-target> <destination-base-dir name="Deploy Directory"> <value-context>pluginConfiguration</value-context> <value-name>homeDir</value-name> </destination-base-dir> </bundle-target> Now to say " I want x " below the home directory I have to create a new plugin config property 'foo' , set it to $homeDir/x and use foo. Same for drift. It should be possible to say <bundle-target> <destination-base-dir name="Deploy Directory"> <value-context>pluginConfiguration</value-context> <value-name>${homeDir}/${config}/deployment</value-name> </destination-base-dir> </bundle-target> and have the ${} expressions replaced accordingly
