# Target platform definitions

## org.simantics.sdk.build.targetdefinition.target

The platform definition that is used for building the Simantics SDK itself.
It does not include any of the parts of the org.simantics.sdk feature which
defines the contents of the Simantics SDK.

Essentially it includes all required Eclipse components and other third-party
external components required for building the Simantics SDK.

See ../org.simantics.sdk.build.p2.site/ for how some of the external third-party
libraries are bundled for use with the Simantics SDK.

## simantics.target

Includes all the same components as *org.simantics.sdk.build.targetdefinition.target*
but also includes the Simantics SDK which is sourced from [http://www.simantics.org/download/<branch>/sdk/](http://www.simantics.org/download/<branch>/sdk/).

Each platform repository branch can have its own separate download location online, e.g:
* [http://www.simantics.org/download/master/sdk/](http://www.simantics.org/download/master/sdk/)
* [http://www.simantics.org/download/release/1.28.0/sdk/](http://www.simantics.org/download/release/1.28.0/sdk/)
* [http://www.simantics.org/download/feature/scl/sdk/](http://www.simantics.org/download/feature/scl/sdk/)
* ...

which the simantics.target definition then references to get the SDK bundles.
