Description Lars Vogel CLA 2020-09-18 00:48:54 EDT 
Current:
TargetPlatformPreferencePage2_0=Add, edit and remove target definitions.  The active target definition will be used as the target platform which workspace plug-ins will be compiled and tested against.  New definitions are stored locally, but they can be moved to a project in the workspace and shared with others.

Suggestion:

Comment 2 Karsten Thoms CLA 2020-09-18 02:26:23 EDT 
Not sure about that. Actually the original message is more precise. It isn't the target definition against plugins are compiled, the target definition _defines_ a target (platform) against which the plugins are compiled.
Opinions?
