Re: [jbosstools-dev] JBT/JBDS Target Platform for Beta1 -- time to update?
It looks like we really need two target platforms. Minimal based on sr1 to compile against
and maximal to run with. Maximal also can be used to assemble JBDS. I remember Max already
raised this issue earlier, didn't he?

Agreed. Developers should be actively selecting the dependency version. It also helps to
do a little research to see when a specific feature became available, as this may allow
for backward compatibility (e.g. the SwitchYard plugins are fully compatible, although
untested, with Eclipse JEE 3.6).
It's probably too much to ask for existing dependencies, but as new dependencies are
added, developers should actively select the version required. For existing dependencies,
at a minimum, the "release" identifier should be replaced with a "0"
unless a specific patch release is required.
Best,
