Edit Preset Variable [message #1745912]

How can I add a variable which the user can edit and is predefined by an environment variable?

Lets say I have the environment variable myvar with the value "sample value".

At the beginning of the installation I want to show a text field with the value of the environment variable i.e. "sample value". The user should be able to edit the value.

I tried so far to use the environment variable as value attribute of a setup:VariableTask but then oomph just does not ask the user anymore.

Refer to your environment variable in the Variable Task's default value property:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0">
  <setup:VariableTask
      name="author.name"
      defaultValue="${user.name}"
      label="Author name"/>
  <setup:EclipseIniTask
      option="-Dcom.foo.author.name"
      value="=${author.name}"
      vm="true"/>
</xmi:XMI>

Cheers
