Hi,

is it somehow possible to force the p2 materializer in a .mspec to
always create a fresh target platform and set it to active irregardless
of the currently active TP?

Thanks
Markus

Hi Markus,

The easiest way to accomplish this is to create an empty directory and
then do setpref targetPlatformPath=<empty dir>. This ensures that you
have an empty, and active, target platform.

Combine that with an mspec that doesn't have an install location set and
it will default to the currently active target platform. Alternatively,
don't use an mspec at all and control what goes where using
source="true/false" in the RMAP providers. The result is the same, p2
materialized components end up in the active TP.
