Description Howard CLA 2010-02-25 10:28:38 EST 
Build Identifier: Version: 3.5.0 Build id: I20090611-1540

Feature request for evaluating variables in annotation processor options.

Under
	Project Properties
	Nodes: Java Compiler -> Annotation Processing
	Panel: Processor options (-Akey=value)
I create
	Key = out
	Value = ${workspace_loc:myproj}/.apt_generated

but the variable portion is not evaluated and passed to my annotation processor.
The only way to work around this is to enter absolute path to the .apt_generated directory, but this will break if my workspace is relocated.

Reproducible: Always
