[Rob Cernich (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13232?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12750056#comment-12750056 ] 

Rob Cernich commented on JBIDE-13232:
-------------------------------------

I know I'm late to the party and I didn't read the whole history of comments, but it seems like this would be more useful if the tp projects were versioned along with JBT.  Obviously, you could add min/max as necessary.  This would allow me to say something akin to: use the target platform that goes with JBT 4.0, e.g. (maven management key) org.jboss.tools:target-platform:target:unified-min:4.0

As a downstream consumer, I don't really care what version of the Eclipse platform the TP is tied to, since I will be targeting some version of JBT (e.g. 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, etc.).  The current approach leaves me having to map a JBT version to a TP version (unnecessarily so, in my opinion).

Just my two cents.

> .target files are all called "e42-wtp34-jbds6" even though they are for jbosstools and not specific to jbds6 either.
> Makes it hard to actually see which target platform to choose
