Current Line Number in External Tools Arguments? [message #515400]

I am looking to get the current line number of the cursor to an external tools launch. There seem to be a long list of variables accessible but I cannot seem to find one that would get me the current line number of the cursor. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Currently my arguments are:

/command:blame /path:"${resource_loc}" /line:${string_prompt} /startrev:1 /endrev:-1

I would like to replace ${string_prompt} with something along the lines of ${cursor_line_number}

It is possible if someone provides the variable(variable resolver) but I couldn't find such provider.
So try this one at your own risk.
http://sourceforge.jp/projects/pdt-tools/releases/46542
(Download jar file into eclipse/dropins folder)
This provides ${selected_line}.

Maybe you can request the variable against eclipse/platform since org.eclipse.debug.ui plug-in provides ${selected_text}.
This is not concerned with PDT anyway. You had better to ask more at Platform forum.
