Can I reference java.ecore in project.ecore without relative path? but use module references instead?

Question

In our Project we are using Acceleo to generate Java code from our eCore Models.

We have created a file called "java.ecore" which contains java standards that we are using (e.g. java.io.Closeable)

Now if I want to create a Class in the project specific "project.ecore" which implements Closeable, I can reference the "java.ecore" like so:

<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="ProjectClass" eSuperTypes="relative/path/to/java.ecore#//io/Closeable" />

The part relative/path/to/ gives me a headache.

As we are using the "java.ecore" in different places in our multi-module project, I would like to avoid using a relative path and instead place the "java.ecore" in a separate module and reference this module through some dependency defined in the Acceleo plugin (or similar).

Is this possible?

You want to use URIs with the platform:/resource and/or platform:/plugin schemes.
