Next: Defining new Targets, Up: Customizing build Targets and Models

##### 16.5.20.1 Defining new Target Models

Models are defined in a `target-model` node which has one attributes, `name`, which contains the name of the model, and which supports the following sub-nodes:

`<icon>`
  The stock name of the icon to associate by default with targets of this model.
`<description>`
  A one-line description of what the Model supports
`<server>`
  Optional, defaulting to `Build_Server`. Indicates the server used for launching Targets of this model. See Remote operations.
`<is-run>`
  Optional, defaulting to `False`. A boolean indicating whether this target corresponds to the launching of an executable rather than a build. Targets with such a model are launched through an interactive console in GPS, and their output is not parsed for errors.
`<uses-shell>`
  Optional, defaulting to `False`. A boolean indicating whether Targets of this model should be launched via the shell pointed to by the SHELL environment variable.
`<command-line>`
  Contains a number of `<arg>` nodes, each containing an argument of the default command line for this model, starting with the executable.
`<switches command="executable_name">`
  The graphical description of the switches. (see Defining tool switches)

         <?xml version="1.0" ?>
            <my_model>
            <target-model name="gprclean" category="">
               <description>Clean compilation artefacts with gprclean</description>
               <command-line>
                  <arg>gprclean</arg>
                  <arg>-P%PP</arg>
                  <arg>%X</arg>
               </command-line>
               <icon>gps-clean</icon>
               <switches command="%(tool_name)s" columns="1">
                  <check label="Clean recursively" switch="-r"
                         tip="Clean all projects recursively" />
               </switches>
            </target-model>
         </my_model>
