[news.eclipse.tools.buckminster] Re: Materializing target platform from

[Roland Tepp <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for quick reply.

So to get more concrete, let's say I have specified my target platform 
in my-platform.target definition and I want to materialize a set of 
products in my workspace against the specified target platform.

That is - I want to set the target platform of my workspace to the one 
defined in my-platform.target and materialize the workspace based on 
some mspec/cquery.

What are the steps I would have to perform to achieve that in headless 
mode (e.g. perform one-click set-up of the workspace)?
