Properties editor for File endpoint converts relative paths to absolute paths so files are not read

I cannot get my project to run as a Local Camel Context with or without tests, even after:
Deleting my old repository;

• Creating a new workspace (workspace99);
• Creating a new CBRroute project that uses the 2.14.0 version of camel-
  archetype-blueprint in the new workspace;
• Updating the pom.xml file in the new workspace to depend on commons-io
  (for the customized JUNit test case I created); and
• Copying the camelContext.xml routing file, the
  CBRroute/src/data/message#.xml (1 through 6) files, and my customized
  camelContextXmlTest.java file from the old workspace into the new one.

In the Properties editor for the Filesystem (file) component, the Uri field on the Generic tab and the Path field on the File Binding tab are auto filled. In my case, Uri contains file:/Applications/jbdevstdio/studio/jbdevstudio.app/Contents/MacOS/src/data/?noop=true, and Path contains /Applications/jbdevstdio/studio/jbdevstudio.app/Contents/MacOS/src/data/.

These properties seem to be hardcoded because when I try to change them they revert back. My new 2.14.0-based project lives in jmurphey/workspace99/CBRroute/...

Now, when I try to run my camelContext.xml file as a Local Camel Context (without tests), the runtime starts up the routes (there are two in the routing context), but then it hangs, never reading any of the files from the CBRroute/src/data dir. My customized JUnit test case fails because it doesn't get the message body it expects.

I tried changing the Uri string on the Generic tab to file:/src/data?noop=true, which worked just once, delivering all 6 messages to their correct destinations. But the runtime spawned lots of error messages that it could not find/connect to the JMX connector.
