Hi,

I have a bunch of buckminster.prebind actions defined on certain
projects. These are mainly ant scripts that fetch some additional
libraries and copy them into the project (I know, not quite the
buckminster way, but there is no way around that currently), or generate
some extra classes.

The paths to those additional libraries are made available to the
actions by passing a generated properties file to the resolve command
(the -P option).
This works just fine in headless mode, however, how do I get the same
result for developers that resolve the query in the UI?
I assumed the way to go is to specify the same properties file directly
in the cquery (properties="globalArtifacts.properties")
But unfortunately the buckminster.prebind actions don't see the
properties that are defined in the file. Are those properties only made
available for the resolution process?
Is there currently any way to have the same behaviour like resolve -P
propertiesFile when resolving a query through the UI?

Thanks and best regards,
Johannes
