Description Alexander Mitin CLA 2005-04-29 01:39:55 EDT 
Ant build doesnt use global properties defined in Ant Runtime preferences
Here is the sample:
<target name="Create TelegramViewer.zip" depends="Create ucp.jar">
    <copy todir="build" file="lib/log4j.jar"/>
    <copy todir="build"
file="${eclipse.home}/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.1.0.jar"/>
...
</target>
eclipse.home is defined in Ant Runtime preferenses.
this sample gives error:
BUILD FAILED
Warning: Could not find file
C:\eclipse\workspace\ucp\${eclipse.home}\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.1.0.jar
to copy.
if make explicit <property name="eclipse.home" value="c:\eclipse"/> in target
then build runs just fine.

Comment 2 Darin Swanson CLA 2005-04-29 09:58:07 EDT 
The properties that are available for a specific Ant build are designated on 
the Ant properties tab of that particular launch.
Run As>Ant Build...>Properties tab

When set to run in a separate JRE, eclipse.home is not set
When set to run in the same JRE, eclipse.home is set
To set which JRE your build occurs in see the Ant JRE tab for your launch.
