Is there any way to have a local .properties file used by MyEclipse that would result in ${var} type macro expansion/replacement capabilities throughout the project (or certain project locations such as you define in the XDoclet definitions)?

This would allow us to minimize the amount of hard coding we need to do as we are moving away from ANT to use more of MyEclipse’ built-in features. We need to be able to plug certain values into a couple of our standard properties files (and web.xml) as the deploy is occurring.

That’s a great idea, I’ll file it and see what management thinks.

Ok, as Ant member I am not objective 🙂
But I would prefer to start the MyEclipse features from Ant. So you could do a headless build (Gump, CruiseControl, …)

I agree. You should be able to launch a headless MyEclipse and specify the project or other task like Xdoclet generation, delpoy to server(s) x, etc. And the process should return at least an error code and output to specified stdout or logfile, etc.
