[jbosstools-dev] Who uses .target file? Alternative suggestion

Write their own .target file ? why ?

or do you mean a dynamically generated target platform ?

yes, this is fine for dev mode to resolve a TP dynamically and I expect this is what most does.

But this does not *exclude* the need for having a .target file to use during *release* and *integration* builds to ensure
our builds are *consistent* and *deterministic* independent on how many or few updatesites the build is configured with.
