Peter,
Targets are not transitive as far as I know. I.e. targets can not refer to nested/sub targets etc.
At iSencia we have a build setup driven by Tycho with a profile to setup a workspace target.
It collects all dependencies info transitively “via Tycho” and then copies them in a target platform folder in the workspace.
A bit convoluted, but it works for those who like Maven-driven builds…

Hi Jonah,
Quick question: are .target specifications transitive so dependencies are resolved recursively? I was wondering about simplifying the example target
to only depend on January and junit.

Hi Georgi,
This looks like an Eclipse PDE bug, unfortunately one I have seen regularly. It is not January related, but what has happened is that the cache has become corrupted. Often restarting Eclipse and/or pressing Reload and/or
Update and/or deleting workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core cleans up the area.

Great, can you provide that as a PR for January, I will be happy to
test it out and get the build & deploy updated once that first step
has been done.
