Is it possible to use the target platform editor
to add the
entire delta pack from a P2 repository?
Short answer is, yes. Just unzip the delta-pack to a folder and add
that as a "Directory" in a target platform definition.
The longer answer is, well, do you really want that? Why not just
create a "Software Site" where you appoint the current Eclipse Platform
(or the exact features that you need)? I.e.
1. Create a new empty Target.
2. Add a "Location".
3. Select a "Software Site"
4. Uncheck the "Include required software" in the "Add Software Site"
dialog
5. Check "Include all environments"
6. Select a site such as "Galileo" or "The Eclipse Project Updates"
7. Select the features you want. Perhaps "Eclipse Platform" is enough?
This defines a platform that contains all the artifacts from the delta
pack. Personally, I like this approach a lot better because it creates
a managed target. It also leverages all bells and whistles with
pack200, mirroring, etc. in P2. Nowadays, that means much shorter
download times.
Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
