In trying to build a ant script for my Flex project i've come across a couple of properties that seem to be available by default such as ${DOCUMENTS} and ${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS}. Does anybody know where these variables are defined and are there any more that maybe useful to me? Is there a list of variables that are created by default?
Thanks J
Do you have an example script you could share?
ANT has these built in properties. Most likely, the properties you're talking about are either defined in the build script, loaded from an external properties file, or defined using environment variables. You can learn more about property files in ANT to see how they're used.
With our ANT build script, each developer defined a FLEX_HOME environment variable, and we referenced that instead of having to hard code an SDK location in the build script. You can do that like this:
<property environment="env" />
<echo message="Flex home is ${env.FLEX_HOME}" />
Hope that helps.
In Eclipse they are called Linked Resources and can be found in Window (menu) -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Linked Resources
PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS, however, is "special" in that it is provided by the FlexBuilder plugin on a per-project basis. (FB-16815)
