package org.eclipse.pde.core.target

Application programming interfaces to access and modify the PDE target platform.

Package Specification

Provides an OSGi service, described by ITargetPlatformService, that provides information about the current target platform that plug-ins are compiled against. Multiple ITargetDefinition instances can be created and modified, but only one can be the current target platform. Use LoadTargetDefinitionJob to change which definition is the current target platform.
