Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Building with Tycho against Platform M5 products requires some effort

well, that's not entirely true. We don't reference platform products in
our build but use the target-platform-validation-plugin [1], whose
validate-target-platform goal apparently also stumbles over the missing
entries:

Alas, I couldn't get the workaround to work:

This is my .target file:

> <location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="false" includeMode="slicer" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
> <unit id="org.eclipse.ecf.core.feature.feature.group" version="0.0.0"/>
> <unit id="org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.feature.feature.group" version="0.0.0"/>
> <unit id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.sdk.feature.group" version="0.0.0"/>
> <unit id="org.eclipse.sdk.ide" version="0.0.0"/>
> <unit id="config.a.jre.javase" version="9.0.0"/>
> <unit id="a.jre.javase" version="9.0.0"/>
> <repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.8milestones/S-4.8M5-201801242000/"/>
> </location>

What did work for me, however, is *not* changing the .target file but
adding an <executionEnvironment> of JavaSE-9 to the
target-platform-validation-plugin's <configuration> [2]. Unfortunately,
that option is not documented at all, so I am a little bit mystified why
this works.

Maybe some can enlighten me?

Best wishes,

Andreas
