Noone uses it right now since it is not set up as it should be afaik
I would/want to use it if we enable slide planner mode on it so the dependencies becomes
*deterministic*. They aren't now.
And then I would like to get target files that I can apply in eclipse - but the current
one is just too big/slow to work.
Using an updatesite would not help on that either afaik.

Hi all,
This is an important question for us.
Nick and I are now convinced that .target files are not the panacea to drive dependency
management at build time. It adds a lot of additional steps and it does not work that
easily in the Maven way. We are thinking of some alternatives way to provide a
"dependency" repository that would contain only the necessary stuff for you to
work on your component. Then we'll just manage this repository instead of a .target
file, it should make our daily work better and remove lot of complexity.
See
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10915 and comments starting from here
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11157?focusedCommentId=12676643&...
for more details/debate.
So we more and more think this .target file is useless, and we'd like to get rid of
it (uselessness is bad). But before that, we'd like to know whether some of you do use
the generated .target file. If yes, we'll have to think on a better way to make
everyone happy. So if you use .target file, raise your hand!
