Hi,
We are developing an OSGi application based on Equinox and are currently
using Eclipse 3.3.
We use a target platform that consists of two different external
directories. One contains Equinox and other thirdparty bundles and the other
contains our specific application bundles.
In testing Eclipse 3.4 I have encountered a problem with reloading the
target platform. When you click on the reload button on the Target Platform
preferences page the second location is removed from the target platform;
only the primary location specified at the top of the page is reloaded.
This reload process works under 3.3.
I couldn't find any bug reports that looked like this problem.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks,
Bruce

This problem is explained by Bug 216359 - Should Target Platform keep
additional locations on Reload?
In 3.3 the answer was yes, but in 3.4 the answer has changed to no.
This makes the reload button less than helpfull when the target platform
requires multiple locations.

Bruce,
please create a Target Definition File, then add there all your
locations and in Preferences | PDE | Target Platform load this File
and all your plugins from all locations should be loaded as Target Platform

I was using a definition file in 3.3 and when I tried it under 3.4 the
behaviour was exactly the same; the additional locations are removed when
you press the reload button.
What I did discover, after thinking about the response from Chris, was that
you can use link files and when you do the additional locations do not
disappear when you press the reload button.
IMHO it isn't obvious from the help pages for target platform preferences
that you can use links, although now that I know you can, it seems pretty
obvious that you should be able to do so.
Namaste, Bruce

hi bruce,
the trick is not to use "Reload",
select your target and click "Load Target" (on the bottom of the screen)
then all your locations are reloaded

The Reload button is useful (and necessary) if you're not using a
..target file and the target location has changes that you need to load.
As ekke wrote, you don't use Reload when you're using a .target file.
I'm pretty sure this pattern has not changed from 3.3
