value of "main" property in package.json should allway contain relative path #10

when fresh project is created path in "main" is relative, but when you change it later through project properties window to some other file it is not relative path anymore, just directly name of the file, which is incorrect (see https://npmjs.org/doc/json.html#main)

It already works the way you are suggesting. What the IDE shows in the project properties dialog is a full path, because it resolves the file. But what is stored in package.json is exactly what the spec for it suggests - a relative path prefixed with ./

well I'm running Netbeans 7.4 on Ubuntu and when I create fresh Hello World project the initial value in package.json is indeed "main": "./Hello World.js", but then when I create new file, let's say newFile.js and set it as Main File using project properties file browser the package.json contains "main" : "newFile.js" - no relative path there

Sorry, I did find a place where the ./ could be removed, and I fixed it in 3.15.
