         An extension point to define and register target definitions.  PDE gives the user the ability to choose and switch between targets.  PDE also provides the ability to edit and extend the target.  The main content of a target resides in a .target file.  Among other things, the target definition file contains a description of plug-in/feature contents, the target environment, execution environment and launching arguments.<br>
<br>
Target definition files should be edited using the target definition editor provided by PDE.  The file format is not API and subject to change between releases.

                  a human readable name of the target
               
               
                  
               
            
         
         
            
               
                  the relative path of the target definition file in the contributing plug-in.
               
               
                  
               
            
         
      
   

   
      
         
            
         
         
            a human-readable description of this target
         
      
   

   
      
         
      
      
         No Java code is required for this extension point.

         The following is an example of the <code>targets</code> extension:
<pre>
  <extension point = "org.eclipse.pde.core.targets">
     <target 
       id="org.eclipse.pde.core.rcpTarget"
       name="Eclipse RCP"
       definition="targets/rcp.target"/>
  </extension>
</pre>

In the example above, the name and id of the target are declared in the plugin.xml, but its content is stored in a <code>targets/rcp.target</code> located in the contributing plug-in.
<br>
The .target file must be created via <b>File > New > Other... > Plug-in Development > Target Definition</b> and should be edited using the PDE target definition editor.  The file format is not API and subject to change between releases.
      
   

   
      
         
      
      
         The <code>org.eclipse.pde.core</code> plug-in provides two extensions.
