Hello,

For my needs, I launch an eclispe with command line "java -cp
../startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application
id.of.my.application -data myWorkspacePath
I want to change the target platform of the workspace during the run of
the IPlatformRunnable. Is there a way to do that?

Best Regards,

Laurent

Hi Laurent,
yes it should be possible. At least RAP can do that if you click their
button contributed to Welcome page to set RAP target platform.
But I don't know what's the API for that.

What version of Eclipse? In 3.5, we are redoing the whole target
platform story and added a provisional API around targets:

org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.target.provisional.ITargetPlat formService

If you're using something before 3.5, you can grok the code in:

org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.LoadTargetOperation

Note that it's not easy to do, so sorry for that. We are improving
things in 3.5 quite a bit and plan to improve more in the next release
once the provisional API solidifies... with feedback from great people
like you!

Cheers,

I use Eclipse 3.4.
For the moment, I got out of this problem by saving a workspace pointing
to the right targetPlatform. But perhaps I will see what is possible
with LoadTargetOperation.

Thanks,

Laurent
