Can I tell the installer to offer only Neon and Later as eclipse.target.platform values, or do I have to make a new variable?

You can define the variable locally with its own choices to override the global definition and its choices.

I can't get it to work. I have added the values I want to accept, but the installer still proposes all the other values declared in the index:/org.eclipse.projects.setup model. (None, Ganymede through Oxygen)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:VariableTask
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
name="eclipse.target.platform"
defaultValue="Neon"
storageURI="scope://Workspace">
<annotation
source="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/GlobalVariable"/>
<choice value="Oxygen"
label="Eclipse Oxygen - 4.7"/>
<choice value="Neon"
label="Eclipse Neon - 4.6"/>
</setup:VariableTask>

If I add a 'new' value, e.g. 'test', that one is proposed in addition, but it seems not possible to remove the values declared by the project catalog itself.

Sorry, yes, you're right. The choices are always merged. You could define a differently named variable, and set the value of the existing variable to that new variable's value and then the new variable can have any choices you want.
