Can you please elaborate a little bit on the last step? What exactly
must I do to "materialize" a target definition in the file system so
that I can point my API baseline to that place?
To materialize a target from a target definition file, use the
ITargetPlatformService. Specifically, you can create a target handle
(which provides access to the target definition), from an IFile or a URI
to an external target definition file.
/**
* Returns a handle to a target definition backed by the
underlying file.
* The target definition may or may not exist. If the file does
not exist
* then this is a new target definition which becomes one of the
known
* workspace target definitions when it is saved.
*
* @param file target definition file that may or may not exist
* @return target handle
*/
public ITargetHandle getTarget(IFile file);
/**
* Returns a handle to a target definition backed by the
underlying {@link URI}.
* The target definition may or may not exist. If the {@link URI}
is valid
* then this is a new target definition which becomes one of the
known
* external target definitions.
*
* @param uri target definition {@link URI} that may or may not
exist
* @return target handle
*/
public ITargetHandle getTarget(URI uri);
