The problem with these variables is that the build plugin is independent 
of UI plugins and so it cannot expand UI variables. The best you can do is 
to use build variables like ${ProjDirPath}.

If you use "Build Project" command it is always executed in project build 
directory. As an alternative you could try Make Target view. If you create 
its  target in a subfolder the working directory will be that subfolder. 
This holds true for not managed build only.
