External Run progs - Syntax rules for Variables [message #1424129]

My Eclipse Luna has E:\CppWpE

My individual project EKing : project name

It is in C:\CppWpE\EKing : project location

For two days I've been trying to use ${project_name} and ${project_loc}
when configuring external run programs.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they fail, stating the the variable is empty. Rolling Eyes

What empties these variables? Where can I set their value?

workplace_loc seems to be working but what of project_name & _loc??

PS where can I learn more on how to construct the full project folder name.

This syntax is beastly : ${workspace_loc:/EKing01}

The project must have "the focus" (click on the project or into the editor window of one of the projects file). Many variables are only valid when the project has the focus.
