defining variables in IDEA
Sorry i don't have a more meaningful subject, but in Eclipse, when setting up a server like Tomcat, and specifying VM arguments, it's possible to use variables like $MY_VAR, and then click on a "Variables..." button and define the MY_VAR variable. is it possible to do something like this in IDEA 9? i tried using the "Path variables" property, but that didn't work.
I'm using IDEA 10.
let me know if you need more clarification.
Thanks,
Nilesh
