Hi,
wouldn't it now be nice if there was some tycho command to say "make this target local" ?
and from that day on tycho uses the local definition that it cached somewhere (maven repo)
of that specific target version?
this is now our target pom:
i could add a profile there that would "localize" the target fully..
And from that moment on tycho uses the local target.
we do get a lot of these things:

and our target resolvement is taken quite some time for a lot of projects
So for me if tycho would have support now for getting a local (dir) target then it would be even nicer if that could be fully automated from a target definition
Kind of what we now do in our local eclipse.
So all our developers are exporting that target file to there local disk and then have a special local.target pointing to that output and using that as the actual target in eclipse.
Because it is very annoying that sometimes if there is a network problem developers are suddenly getting all kinds of problems because Eclipse decided to check the target and failed todo so.
