e(fx)clipse target platform distribution [message #1221475]

On the e(fx)clipse web site tutorials, one of the first things we're instructed to do is set up the target platform and it's set up to get it from the site. I will be eventually developing an application in a closed environment with no Internet access. What is the best method to make a target platform available for this type of environment? I would assume that I would need to download some sort of distribution package and upload it to the secure network. How can I obtain a suitable package?

It is also published as zip-file at
http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-nightly/site_assembly.zip ;-)

If e(fx)clipse is not the only thing you need to you can simply mirror
p2 repos using the commands at

OK, once I upload this distro to the secure system, do I just point to the directory that contains this when I define my platform target, or do I need to perform other steps?

yes that's it or if you have an HTTP server in your closed environment,
you can let it serve the P2 repos. Than in your .target (See the .target
file editor) you add these repos as HTTP entries.

I personally prefer to save my .target file in a xyz.target plugin
then you can edit and load it directly. So if you work on more products
in your workspace and you need to change target this is is very
convenient. On top build infra like tycho, can use these .targe files as
well.

Very convenient..
