[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18837?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Nick Boldt edited comment on JBIDE-18837 at 11/28/14 12:44 AM: --------------------------------------------------------------- Net result is that during dev phase, we cannot link QE to a different version of Central/Examples/EA than the released version, because users will see their JBT 4.2.1.CR1, 4.2.1.Final, 4.2.2.\*, 4,2.3.\* as all being the same version: 4.2. Therefore when we introduce changes to Central (for example, the upcoming change to m2e-apt 1.1.1) we'll have no way to feed a JBT 4.2.1.CR1a user to a different URL for Central than the one that's live for 4.2.x users. (Actually, we'll be able to go back to using -D flags, which ya'll loved so much.) Without the ability to cause JBT to look for different versions of Central, we have no need to have three different URLs for JBT 4.2.1.CR1a/CR2/Final [1], 4.2.1.CR1 [2], or 4.2.0.Final [3].
