Define runtime properties

Last modified: 08 March 2021

Use the Properties tab of the Build File Properties Dialog to pass properties to the build script at runtime. The specified values are equivalent to those defined after the -D option of the command line launcher.

In addition to plain values, you can use macros that are evaluated at runtime. Such macros are helpful, when you have to pass specific paths and other varying information to the build script. Macros are character strings surrounded with dollar signs. Build File Properties dialog provides the complete list of macros, available for the selected build file, with the previews that show, how these macros will be evaluated at runtime.
