title: How to build RCP application based on Product Configuration and Target Platform Definition?
body: <p>I'm about the setup an automatic (command-line) build for my Eclipse RCP Application.</p>
  
  <p>I have found out the following ways to do it:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Buckminster</li>
  <li>Using Maven with the <code>pde-maven-plugin</code> </li>
  <li>Headless PDE Build</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The problem with all these options is that they require me to create essentially a new representation of the information already contained in my target platform definition. For example in Buckminster, this would be the <code>.rmap</code> file. </p>
  
  <p>In my thinking all the information to build the product should be already there when I have the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Plugin project with product configuration file (foo.product)</li>
  <li>Target platform definition file (foo.target)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Therefore I would expect there to be a command like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>build-rcp-product foo.product foo.target win32
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anything like that which I may have missed?</p>
