Ryan,
yes I want to link to a default property file for use with all Flash
projects. The property file will be stored in a sub folder in the Eclipse
workspace (i.e .'default/AS2'). But you just gave me the hint with setting
default Ant properties under Preferences/Ant/Runtime/Properties. I've added
my Eclipse workspace as a variable there (eclipse.workspace) and it can be
used in the Ant build file with ${eclipse.workspace}! This just was what I
was looking for! Thanks alot Ryan!
So let's say I create a default property file in the Eclipse workspace that
contains properties like the path to MTASC and SWFMill etc.. Then I can
import this property file into the buildfile of all ActionScript projects
with ...
<property file="${eclipse.workspace}/.default/AS2/as2.properties"/>
And in case the path to some of the used tools changes I don't need to dig
trough all my projects to change them but I only have to change the path in
the properties file. I will try later if this works!
