In my external build script, I call ANT like this:
java org.apache.tools.ant.Main -Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%
(The system property catalina.home is accessed inside build.xml for the
compilation of JSPs.)
When configuring an external task to call ANT from Eclipse,
how should I pass this property to ANT?
The only thing I seem to be able to do is set the property directly,
using the current value of %CATALINA_HOME% , which is
of course not what I want.
Instead of accessing the OS's environment variable, I'd also
be happy to use one of the classpath variables from my Java
preference settings, but even that seems impossible.

PS: Incidentally, it would also be nice if there were a filter in the
ANT view for all non-descript targets (the hollow arrows).

Hi!
Why not access the environment variable inside the ant-script instead of
passing the value as a parameter?
First define the prefix for environment variables ("env" in this case):
<property environment="env"/>
Then access the environment variable:
${env.CATALINA_HOME}
