| Parameterized product builds [message #63390] |

I'm trying to understand how we can move some strings out of the product
definition file (*.product). The primary things are the product name and
product versions:
<product name="Fantastic Product" version="42.4711.0">
....
</product>
When building this either headlessly using the PDE build scripts, or
from inside Eclipse, I would like to be able to maintain a separate
file containing the product names and versions. I tried doing
<product name="%productName" ... >
....
</product>
But that just made the product be called "%productName".
Is there a way to do this without resorting to automatically patching
the product definition file before building?

Ok,
Also ensure that
* You have a "Bundle-Localization: plugin" entry in your MANIFEST.MF
* plugin.properties is included in your build (build.properties must
contain plugin.properties in the bin.includes field)

Hello,
You can externalize most of your string into the plugin.properties file,
that must be in the same folder as the .product file.

I did do that. The plugin.properties file contained
productName=Fantastic Product
But when launching the product, I still got "%productName" as the name.
Is there any documentation anywhere on this?
