The following objects are available in the script-context:

- properties, accessible by their names
- user properties, accessible by their names
- targets, accessible by their names
- "references" (elements having an id?) , accessible by their names

(everything is available only if it has an valid java-name (i.e. no dots)

Should be, since you can call myProject.getProperty('prop1'); ... (replace
myProject with the *real* name of your project). And you can use properties
with dots included if you use it like this.

This is from a "real" build-file:

    <script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[
        var buildNumber =
parseInt(VAMOS50.getProperty('product.build.minor'));
        if (isNaN(buildNumber)) buildNumber = 0;
        buildNumber = buildNumber + 1;
        VAMOS50.setProperty('product.build.minor', buildNumber);
    ]]></script>
