Re: [tycho-user] build for target A, test on target B

We, at JBoss Tools, are using two distincts TP for compiling/packaging and running unit tests.

To my knowledge there is no way to set the target file on a target-

Not sure what you mean, but you can create eclipse-target-definition artifacts in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Packaging_Types#eclipse-target-definition, reference them in the target-platform-configuration block and even use variables to switch between them according to system properties, profiles, whatever.

That said, Tycho is more about building artifacts than orchestrating test benches, so for this case, it might make sense that you create one test bundle including a test suite referencing all the tests you want to run on the older platform, and build and publish it in some p2 repo with Tycho, but run it with some other tools.

You can easily script something that install (using `eclipse -application org.ecliose.equinox.p2.director ....`) this master test suite and the PDE test launcher in a given product and run the tests using some `eclipse -application org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.uitestapplication ...`.
