Description Volker Stolz CLA 2013-12-02 05:57:03 EST
The very useful ${build_project} variable is not documented in the help for external tools, e.g. in http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fconcepts-exttools.htm.

A straight-forward solution would be to copy over the context-help from the Environment/Variables tab in "Run configuration".

(There seem to be some more variables, but I cannot judge which ones are worth documenting/replicating there).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
