using variable in build output path [message #515704]

Gang:

Is it possible to use a variable in the output folder path? For example, my
kind="output" classpath entry points to a relative location under my
project:

classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"

but I would like to use a variable in the path so I can control the location
of the output. For example,

classpathentry kind="output" path="MY_TARGET/bin"

where MY_TARGET is a variable.

Thanks,

Chris

You can do this indirectly by first creating a resource link based on
extending the MY_TARGET variable. You can then select this location as
the output path in the Build Path dialog.

Thanks. That did the trick. I had a linke resource defined, but I hadn't
gone far enough into the set of Build Path dialogs.
