Netbeans 6.7 custom variable for ant task

Hi there! I've got a problem which I couldn't solve for a few days, please help me.

I'd like to execute an ant-script within netbeans. the script needs a special classpath which a plugin/module made by myself puts into a "global-variable". The variable can be shown using the netbeans "Manage variables"-dialog. So it's working, I guess

Then I've tried to run the ant-script with: "run Target/advanced" and set the property to: enhanceClassPath=${MAG} (${MAG} contains the special classpah..)

Unfortunately the script contains in the property 'enhanceClassPath' still the value '${MAG}' instead the variable value..

I've got a working and simular example in eclipse, but hadn't any luck with netbeans, I guess the main problem is that netbeans doesn't support variables..

you can use your IDE variable MAG in your ant script via ${var.MAG}. don't assign it to a custom property (enhanceClassPath).

Could you be more specific, please?I've set in NB a GlobalProperty called "var.MAG".Then I tried to access it in the ant script with<property name="cp" value="${var.MAG}">but the value of cp is still not resolved..

Ok thanks.But it didn't work.. not as custom property neither directly in ant..Do you have any other ideas?

it works for me - when i debug my (netbeans managed) ant script, i can see var.MAG in the debugger variables window.http://wiki.netbeans.org/IDEVariables says: Variables are stored in build.properties in user directory and in properties file they are prefixed with "var."build.properties is automatically loaded in a netbeans managed ant script via <import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>. if your ant script is *not* managed by nb, you have to include "${netbeans.user}/build.properties" yourself - look into nbproject/build-impl.xml for how to.
