Hi there.
I will like to create a P2 site for a specific list of ws/os/arch combinations, e.g., win32,win32,x86, and cocoa,macosx,x64 but nothing else.
The situation
As I see the current solution I have these options:
1. Create a P2 site for only only one ws/os/arch combination
2. Use '*' to create a p2 for all platforms.
As all of ws/os/arch differs, I must use */*/*.
As I only have support for win32,win32,x86, and cocoa,macosx,x64 I can do one of two workarounds. Both are pretty bad i my oppinion:
1. Create bogus bundles for all other platforms, and create a p2 site for all platforms, that only work for some
2. Create different p2 sites, meaning more work building and more confusion from the user side.
I have looked in the buckminster source code, more specifically org.eclipse.buckminster.pde.internal.actor.P2SiteGenerator.getConfigurations()
The question
Am I missing some smart trick, that allows me to specify a specific list of environments?
The suggestion
If it is not possible, could you consider adding this functionality. I'm thinking something like this:
The user specifies a property 'target.environments' with a list of environments, that take priority over the normal ws/os/arch properties:
E.g. The user specifies:
target.environments=win32.win32.x86;cocoa.macosx.x64
In the start of getConfigurations() the following is added:
String environments = props.get("target.environments").toString();
if(environments != null) {
return environments.split(';');
}
Thanks for all your work 
Tobias
