sharing variable definitions [message #152405]

Is there a way of sharing variable definitions like the way it is
possible to share preferences using declarations.xml ?
This would be really handy for variables that are defined in relative
terms anyway, so could be loaded by a developer using a single step,
instead of entering all the variables one by one.

best regards,

Vincent

There is a new plug-in in the 3.0 stream that supports "string substitution
variables" - org.eclipse.core.variables. This plug-in allows you to define
named variables (or contribute variables via plug-in XML), and reference
them in strings like "${myvar}".

Great :)
Along with the possibility of introducing variables in VM arguments,
this makes me really want to use 3.0 !

thanks,

Vincent
