If one currently uses p2 repositories in Tycho this is quite convenient as Tycho just fetches what ever is required by the project. As PDE has no such feature yet, it is on the other hand not very usable in the IDE itself or one needs to manage a second target platform for development.
This now adds a new tycho-dependency-tools-plugin:generate-target mojo that collects all dependencies of the reactor, maps them to update sites whenever possible and reduces the set then to the root units that are at the top of the dependency chain. Finally these units are tried to be matched to features of the site to finally select a set of units that are suitable for target resolution with planner.
