From the EPIC manual, it states that you can use standard eclipse variables such as ${project_loc} when defining the Perl Include Path for a project. What other "standard eclipse variables" are at our disposal? I can't seem to find a list anywhere.
Also, is it possible to use environment variables? If not directly, is there a way to pass them to eclipse when it's launched through command line arguments?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
External tools allow you to configure and run programs, batch files, Ant buildfiles, and others using the Workbench. You can save these external tool configurations and run them at a later time.
Output from external tools is displayed in the console view.
You can add external tools as part of the build process for a project. These external tools will run in the specified order every time a project is built.
The following variables are available when you configure an external tool. These variables are automatically expanded each time the external tool is run.
${workspace_loc} - The absolute path on the system's hard drive to Eclipse's workspace directory.
${workspace_loc:<resource path>} - The absolute path on the system's hard drive to the specified resource. The <resource path> is the full path of the resource relative to the workspace root. For example ${workspace_loc:/MyProject/MyFile.txt}. Note that the expanded result of this variable is not the same as ${workspace_loc}/MyProject/MyFile.txt if the project's contents directory for MyProject is outside the workspace directory.
etc.
