[jbosstools-dev] Parent pom updated! Minimum/default target platform used in master branch (4.1/7.0) now points at Kepler M4 bits, with M5 coming next week; Juno&Kepler TPs will remove unneeded IUs next week

[Nick Boldt]

Want to remove the -SNAPSHOT. Blocked by this:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13408

And no, we won't be having vanity profiles like JunoSR0, JunoSR1. Could 
consider having 4.20, 4.21, 4.30, however.

Throw your suggestion in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13232, 
please.
