Re: [jbosstools-dev] Who uses .target file?

developer must manage his own target platform. This is compounded by the fact that the
base "test" plugins are not available directly from a p2 repository (update
site) and must be downloaded and installed separately.
Target Platform exists as a zip and an exploded site:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR2/ (for building
anything in JBoss Tools Core -- download the zip, unpack it, and use it thus: `mvn clean
install -Dlocal.site=file:///path/to/unzipped/site/ -Plocal.site` or use that site to
install into your Eclipse for use w/ PDE)
again - this doesn't work since it becomes a mix of what you had already in your
eclipse + what is in this zip + what updates you have made that is newer than what is in
this zip.

target platform (as the new dependencies are downloaded and updated). Same price you pay
when updating your local target platform.
