Incorrect Tool Tip in Ant's build.xml [message #161431] Tue, 18 July 2006 14:41 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a web app with an Ant build.xml script that works fine, so I know
everything is set up correctly. The problem I am having is with what
appears to be an out-of-synch tool tip.

I have this line in my build.xml file:
<property name="catalina.home"
value="c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5" />

Yet when I place the cursor over "catalin.home" the tool tip gives the
value as "c:\Program Files\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.tomcat_4.1.30.1/"

Can someone please explain what's gone wrong and how I can fix it? I
find tool tips displaying the values of properties to be a useful
feature, however, it's not much good if the displayed value is incorrect.

Thanks,
Larry

The property is defined by a plugin (likely the eclipse.tomcat plugin) and
that value is showing up in the editor.
See Windows>Preferences>Ant>Runtime>Global Properties

There should be a catalina.home with an Eclipse icon in the name column.
This indicates that the property is applied for builds in the same JRE as
Eclipse.

I agree this is less than optimal in the hover but I have not allocated the
time to look at the problem mostly because no one has asked.
