Product Export with JDK 11 [message #1834003]

I have a problem in two parts.

At first I thought my problems was using Oomph to install Eclipse with a bundle pool. This stops Eclipse exporting products using JDK 11 (probably JDK 10 and above). I created a bug here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=568388

However, this finding did not resolve my issue. We use a software site for our Target Definition. Taking the above bug as the base, I can observe the following:

Download JDK 11
Download "Eclipse IDE for RCP and RAP Developers"
Create Simple plugin and product
Create a target:
Add a "Software Site" using : http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-09
Select the "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers" feature
Apply the target
Run Product Export Wizard

* Result:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\dev\ws\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\package.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:182: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users\user\.p2\pool\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.10.800.v20200410-1419\scripts\genericTargets.xml:240: A problem occured while invoking the director.

Adding the following to the genericTargets.xml:
<property name="p2.director.log" value="c:/users/user/Desktop/director.log" />
<record name="c:/users/user/Desktop/build.log" loglevel="verbose"/>
Gives:
Missing requirement: Theplugin 1.0.0.202010291855 (theplugin 1.0.0.202010291855) requires 'osgi.ee; (&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=11))' but it could not be found

After a lot of digging, it seems that the PDE export ignores non-local targets when attempting to find profiles to use as a reference repository for the export.

Does anyone else use a non-local target and able to export for JDK 11?

I have found a workaround. As part of the target file, as well as the HTTPS software site, I added an empty installation. It simply contains the following:

jdk11profile/
├─configuration/
│ └─config.ini
│
└─p2/
  └─org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/
    └─profileRegistry/
      └─epp.package.rcp.profile/
        └─1568701474811.profile

#config.ini
eclipse.p2.data.area=@config.dir/../p2
eclipse.p2.profile=epp.package.rcp

The 1568701474811.profile file is simply taken from my actual Eclipse install, albeit unzipped, and ONLY contains the 'a.jre.javase' '11.0.0' profile.

This appears to be enough to appease the PDE Product Exporter and I can now export plugins requiring JDK 11.
