In order to fix https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15837 (Improve the 
CordovaJS library provider), which is Targeted to JBT 4.2.0.Beta2 and  
depends on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17317 (Update tern-java 
plug-ins in target platform 4.40.0.Beta2), we need to make another build 
for Target Platform to use it (updated TP) for JBT 4.2.0.Beta2.

As the target-platform is already released, I'm -1 to change the target-platform. However, if Max wants to make an exception and want this to be in Beta2, we can make an exception and release a new 4.40.0.Beta3 target-platform.
We have 2 options here:
* Delay JBIDE-15837 to Beta3 and keep using 4.40.0.Beta2 to build 4.2.0.Beta2 (current status, no effort)
* Release a 4.40.0.Beta3 containing the change for tern (amongst others), and use it to build 4.2.0.Beta2. Since TP 4.40.0.Beta3-SNAPSHOT already contain the change and has been used for the last 12 hours already, it may not require much additional validation and can be done by the end of the day.

We need to decide that before branching components so that components are built and tested against the right target-platform before branching.

This issues shows that it's not obvious that the target-platform changes have an earlier deadline than Code Freeze. For next time, we'll try to set up more explicit warnings about the deadlines to get dependency change for a given milestone.
