[jbosstools-dev] New Kepler M5 target platform in progress

[Nick Boldt]

I've started work on the new Kepler M5 target platform, which includes 
newer versions of m2e (1.3), m2e-wtp (0.17), GPE (3.1.3), and GWT SDK 
(2.5.0), as well as the usual Eclipse.org stuff like Kepler (M5), 
Eclipse (4.3.0.M5), WTP (3.5.0.M5), and BIRT 4.2.2.

It may have to be rebuilt again in a day or two if the Kepler staging 
site I used changes to pull in newer WTP bits, or if the final WTP build 
for M5 is different from the I build I used.

Speaking of WTP... it appears that the *org.eclipse.persistence.jpa* 
feature no longer exists. The *org.eclipse.persistence.jpa* PLUGIN is 
still part of WTP (and therefore Kepler), but it's now only wrapped by 
the org.eclipse.jpt.jpa.feature. If you currently depend on the old 
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa feature, you should now depend on either 
just the plugin(s) you actually need, or the new feature.

---

The new TP bits will be located here, but are subject to change as noted 
above:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbosstoolstarget/4.30.2.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/ 
(REPO/ folder or zip file)

(A significant change in content, rather than just a fix, will result in 
creation of a .3 version instead of simply rebuilding the .2 version.)

---

When the TP is ready, I'll switch the parent pom to use it by default. 
For now, you can test it using this:

mvn verify -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION=4.30.2.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT

---

Aside: if you're wondering how we got from 4.30.0 to 4.30.2, there was 
an TP built in between which removed uml2, graphiti, and zest. See 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13435.

Comments or issues w/ the new TP in progress, report them on 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13336.

Cheers,
