In the Tools->Options->Execution Types->External Execution settings, I defined some environment variables like this "QMORE_HOME=G:/Qmore/Qmore". I set the Append Environment Variables check box to true. Still When I run a class with Execution type=External Execution, the JVM for that process does not know about this environment variable. Right now I am modifying the External process property in the Execution settings and hard code this environment variable there with -D option. Is there any way that I can make the Environment variable option to work in Netbeans?
Wrong module.
Anyway it sounds like you are confusing environment variables with Java system properties. They are completely different.
Sorry that I raised the bug in wrong module. I am not well versed with all the modules in netbeans. But can I request you to forward this to the correct module instead of closing this ticket? I have not got any solution yet.
Execution types were removed in current trunk. You will be able to use and modify project.properties in new build system. You can try out development version or q-build.
