----------------------------------------
This ticket is just in order to track brainstorming.
I think as long as we keep the "installation tests" working on the oldest
platform we want to support, and keep most-recent stuff in TP, dev may sometimes introduce
too restrictive deps, but they are easy to spot with this installation tests.
That's a few-hours feedback loop, which is probably good enough for our needs (Which
also are to run unit test against latest version deps as they will be in JBDS).
Target-platfom should contain depdencies in the "minimal
compatible" version

Key: JBIDE-12761
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12761
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: target-platform
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta1
Currently, TP contains the latest version of all dependencies. However, JBT can run on
lower versions of Eclipse. It happens that developer introduce a depdendency on a very
recent version when it's not necessary because they rely on our target-platform.
Instead, TP should contain the minimal versions of all dependencies that are compatible
with JBoss Tools. Then developers can rely on very old version, and when necessary,
request usage of new one and break dependencies.
Installation tests are already there to verify installation on latest versions of
Eclipse.
