provisioners. A target provisioner is a mechanism used to add plug-ins to the
current target platform. The wizard is available by going to the <strong>Target Plug-ins</strong>
section of the
<a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.pde.ui.TargetPlatformPreferencePage)")'>

<strong>Window &gt; Preferences... &gt;
Plug-in Development &gt; Target Platform</strong></a> preference page and clicking the
<strong>Add...</strong> button.
