Can you please give details on your expectation regarding this on this 
ticket: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11404 ?

In most cases, when people put the local site at the expected location, 
it is not required. However, if people have several sites managed in 
another folder, they need to set the local.site value.

The fact is that (as explained in 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11404 ), we are not very sure of 
the "best way to use for development". We'd like more inputs from users 
of the build to understand which one of these configuration they want to 
have by default.

> Why do i need Ant as a prerequisite ? Isn't this only to do the target-platform stuff ?
True, I changed it to move reference to Anti in the target-platform part.

Ok. I changed that to (Optional) and changed the introduction since some 
developers may need this information if they actually work on parent or TP.

> If JBoss Nexus is  a requirement now then it seem to be missing instructions on adding the snapshot repo to ones ~/.m2/settings.xml ?
The Nexus repo is added to the top-level pom.xml for each component, so 
it works without additional effort.

Done.

Thanks for your feedback!
