Configuring "Web application URL" for team use

So, I'm trying to take advantage of 'Path Variables' (or Linked Resources), in my teams FlashBuilder4 project properties, so that 开发者_开发知识库its not such a bear to get a new project out of SVN, and up and running. I'm all done with that, except that I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do for the "Web application URL" .

It doesn't allow me to create a "Path Variable" for http:// type items, only files and folders.

Short of saying that all developers need to configure their servers exactly thus, how can I configure this property so that individual team-members settings don't interfere with other team-members ?

What we do is create Linked Resources to point to a debug directory e.g. project/r11.1/dist in the main project. Everyone has r11.1/dist directory structure within their project. Each person has a local Apache server running, and each person sets up a local Alias in the server for r11.1 that points to whatever location the dist files are stored C:/.../r11.1/.

The SVN only contains the Apache Linked Resource name plus the common folder structure i.e. DISTRIBUTION/r11.1/dist along with the server name i.e. http://localhost.whatever.com/ + {DISTRIBUTION}/r11.1/dist

Does this make any sense in terms of what your after?

Here's what I did to solve the problem. I hate it, but it gets me to where I need to go.

I assigned the "Web Application URL" to the value "https://HOSTS.DASHBOARD.DEV/foo/bar/blah/..."

Then, each of the developers needed, in addition, to create an entry in their HOSTS file, to resolve 'HOSTS.DASHBOARD.DEV' to the proper ip address.

This works (so far), even though I'm less than satisfied with it.
