Am I right to assume that these commands are available for headless 
build (I can "materialize" the target platform easily enough from the 
target definition from Eclipse UI, so my first impulse to ask how do I 
do it from Eclipse IDE is moot)

Other than that - if I want to execute some Buckminster commands from 
Eclipse UI, I can do that only from within a component?

I would guess, that in the case of workspace materialization, this is 
quite okay, as in the development scenario I might need access to much 
wider set of target platform plug-ins to be easily able to add new 
dependencies on stuff I had before.

Another use case I see this might be useful for is that when I have a 
target platform that is composed of multiple features (RCP + ECF + EMF 
for example) - then I could import the entire target platform and then 
in the second step, use the newly imported target platform as one of the 
workspace/product materialization sources...

Does it make sanse? Can aI use it this way?
