While developing "about window" in eclipse RCP, we need to define:
aboutText=My text which will be shown in about window
in about.ini file.
I need to add version number, which is defined in the overview page of the .product file. Is there any way to parametrize this string?
I have tried to add {featureVersion} to aboutText, but it doesn't work - my about window is not displayed then.
Thanks!

Not so difficult... Use {0}
, {1}
, etc in the text itself and construct a file about.mappings
with:
0=abc
1=def
...
Now the problem is reduced to making substitutions in the mappings file. Unfortunately there are no standardized way to do this in Eclipse. For Tycho, I typically use maven filters as described here.
