Usage
=====
Target platform 4.40.0.Beta4 is what JBoss Tools 4.2.0.Beta3 should have used, and what it will use for next builds and respins.
All Jenkins jobs for branch jbosstools-4.2.0.Beta3x and parent pom 4.2.0.Beta3-SNAPSHOT have been updated to use target platform 4.40.0.Beta4.
The following p2 repositories *will be modified* to point to this new target platform once JBoss Tools 4.2.0.Beta3 is released:
* http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbosstoolstarget/luna/
* http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbdevstudiotarget/luna/

Testing/Development
===================
If your root pom correctly specifies the latest parent pom version as 4.2.0.Beta3-SNAPSHOT, you need only this:
  $ mvn clean verify
If you're using a different parent pom, use this:
  $ mvn clean verify -Dtpc.version=${TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION}

For usage and help (using in IDE, building a mirror locally, using a zip), see: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/building/target_platforms/target_platforms_for_consumers.md
