patch to fix this issue:

Command.java:

WRONG:
// Project's home is directory of configuration file.
final File home = configFile.getParentFile();
System.out.println("basedir = " + home);

CORRECT:
// Project's home is directory of configuration file.
final File home = configFile.getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile();
System.out.println("basedir = " + home);
