Add device identifier variable to Monkey Jungle

It would be very helpful if Monkey Jungle provided a built-in variable for the target device identifier (e.g. fr255, fenix7) during the build process. Currently, device-specific handling often requires defining paths per device. Introducing a predefined variable such as $(device) that resolves to the current target device would enable dynamic inclusion of device-specific directories in source and resource paths and remove the need to define paths separately for each device.

For example:

base.sourcePath=somedirectory/$(device)

  • But by default it already looks for source-$device/ , what am I missing?

    Yes, but that makes the project root quite messy if you keep a separate resource and source directory for each device there.

    So instead I use subdirectories, for example resources/drawables/generated/epix2pro47mm or source/properties/devices/epix2pro47mm.

    Having a bunch of different source files sounds like it would make support pretty messy.

    Why not limit the source file and use annotations/ "has" to reduce this?

    why does the epix2pro47mm need its own source files, for example?  

    I have apps that I started back when there were only a few CIQ devices, that today also support the latest, all using the exact same source files.
