Storing plugins from target platform in local directory

Eclipse likes to reload my current target definition and so resolving all plugins listed in this target definition. I use a lot of plugins which are available from software sites what increases the time for resolving by downloading these plugins. Is it possible storing these plugins in a local folder only if I add locations to the target definition? Or is it possible as another solution denying the reload ater all plugins are resolved?

There are multiple options for this.

Option 1 - the proper solution

You can use the p2 mirror application to mirror the source repositories to corresponding local repositories and setup your target from those local repos. So repo resolvement will happen instantly and if you like to have a offline pde build the required repos are also already there.

Option 2 - quick hack

Copy the content of the PDE target caching <wrkspc>/.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\.bundle_pool folder to an other local destination and configure this as target.
