Generate a PDE .target definition from a pom.xml

[mickaelistria]

In order to improve the ability for end-users to set up the right target-platform in their IDE when none is provided by the project, it would be nice to have the ability to generate a .target definition from a pom.xml. As I imagine it, it would run regular Maven dependency resolution -a bit like m2e does it for regular Maven projects- and create a .target file with the resolved content. Users could then have a working TP for any Tycho project by:

1. Right click on pom.xml => Generate PDE target platform
2. Open .target file => Set as target platform.

A somehow related project, although it's not integrated with the IDE and doesn't build a full target-platform: https://github.com/andriusvelykis/pde-target-maven-plugin
