Hi there.
I will like to create a P2 site for a specific list of ws/os/arch combinations, e.g., win32,win32,x86, and cocoa,macosx,x64 but nothing else.
The situation
As I see the current solution I have these options:
1. Create a P2 site for only only one ws/os/arch combination
2. Use '*' to create a p2 for all platforms.
As all of ws/os/arch differs, I must use */*/*.
As I only have support for win32,win32,x86, and cocoa,macosx,x64 I can do one of two workarounds. Both are pretty bad i my oppinion:
1. Create bogus bundles for all other platforms, and create a p2 site for all platforms, that only work for some
2. Create different p2 sites, meaning more work building and more confusion from the user side.
I have looked in the buckminster source code, more specifically org.eclipse.buckminster.pde.internal.actor.P2SiteGenerator.getConfigurations()
The question
Am I missing some smart trick, that allows me to specify a specific list of environments?
The suggestion
If it is not possible, could you consider adding this functionality. I'm thinking something like this:
The user specifies a property 'target.environments' with a list of environments, that take priority over the normal ws/os/arch properties:
E.g. The user specifies:
target.environments=win32.win32.x86;cocoa.macosx.x64
In the start of getConfigurations() the following is added:
String environments = props.get("target.environments").toString();
if(environments != null) {
return environments.split(';');
}
Thanks for all your work 
Tobias

I wonder if there may be a misunderstanding. When you are building a p2
site the architectures (etc) are used as filters regarding what to
include in the created p2 repository - it does not mean that all of them
needs to be present.
So, surely, there is never the need to create dummy bundles etc.
Later, when you build a product (if you do), then you build one at a
time with (for each wanted architecture).
In fact, if you have no desire to support some environments (i.e. it
does not actually work) then specify this in your bundles - this way you
prevent them to be installed in an environment you do not support.
Hope that helps

Let me jump into this thread since I have a similar problem:
say that I want to build my site (and my products) only for these
combinations
os="linux,macosx,win32"
ws="cocoa,gtk,win32"
arch="x86,x86_64"
during materialization (of the TP) I can exclude the other architectures
with advisor nodes, e.g.,
<cq:advisorNode namePattern=".*\.solaris.*" skipComponent="true"/>
and, then equinox launchers (for instance) are not included for these
architectures...
but then, when I build the site.p2 I cannot specify the desired
combinations: I can only specify in the properties file
target.os=*
target.ws=*
target.arch=*
and the action fails due to
No component named
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.solaris.sparc:osgi.bundle/[1.1.200.v20120522-1813,1.1.200.v20120522-1813](&(target.arch=sparc)(target.os=solaris)(target.ws=gtk))
is known to Buckminster
how could then avoid this problem?
rationale: I'd have no problem in getting into the TP and in the site.p2
all available combinations, but I'd like to materialize the TP against a
local mirror built with the b3 aggregator (and possibly install the
products reusing this mirror), and, as far as I understand, in the
b3aggr you must specify manually all valid architecture combinations,
you can't just say * (and I'd like to avoid specifying here also the
combinations I'm not interested in).
thanks in advance

Yes, I understand, and I've also done that.
I was only concerned about the impossibility to create a p2 site for
only some selected platforms (Tycho allows you to do that, for instance).
Furthermore, since it is possible to create a p2 site for just one
platform, I guess it would be nice to have also the possibility to
select only some platforms :)
cheers
