I am new to Oomph installer.I am able to generate eclipse instance and project setup by using Oomph installer for that I am using customize product, project and configuration model in installer.My project has its own .target file and I want to set it as default target platform into installed eclipse.
But every time if I start or restart eclipse it will set Modular target (neon) as default target platform and I have to manually change it to my target file. So please let me know how to set customize .target file as a default target platform in eclipse.

Most probably you have a Targlet task in one of your setups (most likely the project) and have the "Skip automaticic task execution at startup time" preference set to false (default) for Oomph (Window -> Preferences -> Oomph -> Setup Tasks). You can set that to true (and make sure to uncheck the Targlet tasks every time you manually perform setup tasks), but the real solution would be to make sure your setups define what you want to have in your IDE.

If you don't want to use targlets and don't have a Targlet task (which you shouldn't if you have a Target Platform task to resolve and set your *.target), be sure to set the eclipse.target.platform variable to the value None which is the default value, but perhaps you have set to Oxygen or Neon.

We can't guess what you've actually done without details. Do you have a Targlet task? Do you have a Target Definition task? Do you have a variable task to set the variable named eclipse.target.platform to the value None?

Thanks Ed Merks for your reply.

Actually as per my understanding I am using project.setup file to deal with target platform setup as I want to use my customize .target file.There is a Modular target which contains targlet and repository Neon.So the "eclipse.target.platform" variable's default value is Neon and value is None.I tried to set Mytarget.target value to "eclipse.target.platform" but failed while fetching my project through eclipse updater and giving me an error
"ERROR: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director code=10053 Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found."
I also tried to deactivate "Modular target" and many more things but got the same result.
So please let me know If I am missing something.

Delete the Targlet task. Set the eclipse.target.platform to the value None. Create a Target Definition task. Use you *.target name in that task. Test i by creating a new installation and workspace.
