Eclipse and PATH variable [message #668188]

Been doing some searching this morning with not much progress...but the issue that I am having is that when Eclipse loads up, it doesn't seem take into account any of my additions to my $PATH that I have (via my .bash_profile file). I can see this variables do show up when I check in terminal. For example, I have a 7z osx port installed and when I run ANT via terminal, it recognizes that it exists...but when I open up Eclipse and run ANT, it doesn't find it.

Any suggestions?

Eclipse doesn't generally use environment variables. If all you need is
for Ant to find an executable at runtime, you can edit the External Tool
Configuration for your Ant script (find the toolbar menu for "External
Tool Configurations", it's icon is a red toolbox over the white-on-green
arrow). When editing the External Tool configuration, there's an
Environment tab where you can specify environment variables.
