| <p class="style1">Target Overview</p> |
| |
| <p>The <strong>Overview</strong> page allows you to view and edit the name |
| and locations of your target definition. As well, the <strong>Overview</strong> |
| page provides hot links to <a href="content.htm"><strong>Content</strong></a> |
| and <a href="environment.htm"><strong>Environment</strong></a> information. |
| </p> |
| <p>A target definition can be used utilized directly out of the workspace or |
| contributed by a plug-in with a |
| <a href="../../../../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_pde_core_targets.html">org.eclipse.pde.core.targets</a> |
| extension running in the platform. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <p class="style2">Target Definition</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../../images/target_editor/definition.png" alt="Target Definition" hspace="30"></p> |
| |
| <p>The <strong>Target Name</strong> identifies |
| your target definition in the Target Selection combo box on the |
| <a href="../../preference_pages/target_platform.htm">Target Platform</a> |
| preference page. This name will be displayed if the target is referenced |
| directly from the workspace. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The <strong>Target Location</strong> specifies the location to which the |
| target platform location should be set. For convenience, the editor provides |
| the option to specify that <strong>The target platform is the same as the host (running) |
| platform</strong>. This option should be used if you wish to develop plug-ins |
| for your current host environment. Users can also specify an absolute |
| <strong>Location</strong> other than the host. To aid in portability of |
| target definitions, the path may include substitution variables. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <p class="style2">Additional Locations</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../../images/target_editor/locations.png" alt="Additional Locations" hspace="30"></p> |
| |
| <p>Target definitions allow you to include required plug-ins from |
| <strong>Additional Locations</strong> other than the main target location. |
| Plug-ins found in these locations will be included in the target platform. |
| These locations need to be absolute, but can consist of substitution variables |
| to enhance portability. |
