It's not a manual preference to edit if you use target definition files.
In those, you can add additional locations and share them with your teammates if you craft the paths carefully (using variables instead of absolute locations).

OK, I'll take a look at it, and I am assuming that the other stuff will start to work in 3.5?? until then it's a manual preferences edit!

File->New Target Definition
That will allow you to define a target definition, then you can set that as your target.

The stuff works fine in the IBM environment, it's the PDE environment without any of the IBM stuff thats broken!!!
I took a straight gannymede install from the website and I can't add a new directory to the default eclipse runtime.
Nothing to do with IBM!!!

Please seek IBM support channels then since you're using IBM products.
The PDE mailing list is geared towards the base Eclipse only.

I am actually working with IBM Lotus expeditor, and having problems adding 3rd party plugins to the development platform.
This seemed to be one way I could do it relatively sanely and more importantly repeatably.
In IBM RAD derived from a (3.4.0 eclipse base) adding the plugins this way seems to work. But I need a non RAD solution for my team.
I think that expeditor tooling does use 'Target definitions' in that I can pick a target type from their launch tooling, but I don't see a way to add to these, other than by using the platform tooling as above???
Many thanks

We are reworking the target platform story in 3.5, we dropped some initial code in M5 but expect more changes in M6.

Is there a reason you aren't using target definitions in 3.4? It's a much easier way to manage your targets.

I am having difficulty adding additional directories to the PDE Target
platform when using
the full Gannymede JEE build that do not occur when using the basic 3.4.1
platform only.
Using the Add... button in the Gannymede version (Plug-in Development,
Target Platform, Plug-ins tab) skips the dialog allowing the user to choose
update site/file location jumping straight to the 'File System Provisioner'.
Adding directories using this dialog has no effect on the locations in the
main wizard panel and does not change the content of the preferences file.
The only way I seem to be able to add entries is to locate and edit the
org.eclipse.pde.core.prefs file and manually add an
additional_locations=...
entry. At which point the directory and contained plugins show up on
restart.
I can't find anything in bugzilla regarding this problem.
Should I raise an issue?
PS neither environment appear to provide a mechanism to remove the
directories once added but I assume this is by design?
