Programmatically set target platform to manage external libraries [message #1821497]

Hello,

I have added a p2 repository in my Xtext project's ".target" project to be able to use an external library. However, for Eclipse to resolve this dependency I have to change the target platform manually in "Window" -> "Preferences" -> "Plug-in Development" -> "Target Platform" from "Running Platform" (which just points at my eclipse installation folder) to the ".target" project of my Xtext project. Is there a way to programmatically get Eclipse to recognize the ".target" project as the default target platform?

(if this is not possible, is there another way to depend on external libraries with a Tycho/Maven build?)

you may have a look at oomph
it allows you to create targets in oomph and derive the target file from that. oomph automatically sets the target platform then (based on the definition in oomph)
