Can an Ant build script to reference the Eclipse plugin folder without full path details?

Question

I could use the following:

<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\eclipse\plugins\myplugin">
    <include name="extraStuff.jar" />
</fileset>

But that breaks the build file on someone else's PC who did not install eclipse into the default folder.

In my case I can't use basedir without hard folder references.

Is there a 'shortcut' to the eclipse install folder that I can use from ant running in eclipse?

You can use the getOuputPath. Have a look at this.
