The answer is no.

We do have a request about that:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169340

It is clear that PDE is becoming a platform.
It would be very interesting to hear what people are doing with it, when
asking for new APIs.

How are you using target definitions and why do you need this support?


I would like to dynamically create and make available target definitions
for runtime environments built upon Equinox.  The reason for
programmatic access is that the target environment will only exist
outside of Eclipse workspace and outside Eclipse instance (not Eclipse
at all).  The target definition can't be completely specified and so has
to be created dynamically...and we would like to have this integrate
with existing UI (so it looks just like another target installed
declaratively...and not have to burden user with finding target,
selecting necessary plugins for target environment, etc).

Thanks,

Scott

I would like to add a target environment definition to PDE
dynamically/programmatically rather than using the
org.eclipse.pde.core.targets extension point.  Is there any API for
doing this in 3.2.2?  If so, where is it?

Thanksinadvance,

Scott
