Description Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen CLA 2006-02-13 05:21:10 EST 
It would be very, very nice if variablesAndContainers.dat file was readable from e.g. an ant task so the only thing needed to resolve multiple eclipse project references was the workspace location.

Right now the "export ant build file" must encode all the project locations in the build file, which doesn't work well with teams where the projects are in different locations.

My ultimate target is to easen the generation and usage of ant scripts runnable from outside of Eclipse in a Eclipse environment.
