| Re: [pde-dev] Target as Api Baseline |
Hi JD,
Off the top of my head, I think that you should expand ApiModelFactory to have a new addComponents() method that takes a ITargetDefinition. Alternatively you could pass in a File or URI to the .target file and handle the interaction with the ITargetPlatformService API inside the model factory. This is similar to what the current addComponents method does. However, be aware that API tools can be run without OSGi, meaning the ITargetPlatformService would be unavailable. If you can't handle that case the javadoc should say so and log some sort of warning.
I don't think you would need to extend ApiBaseline to do this. Certainly you don't want to extend WorkspaceBaseline as it builds a baseline from the current contents of the PDE model (combined workspace and target platform).
Are you planning to make this available in the UI? You could have a new button on the pref page to add from target. Then use the ITargetPlatformService to get a list of all targets (even those in the workspace) and allow the user to select one.
