[jbosstools-dev] Target Platform Updates :: It's Time To Test Indigo SR2!

[Nick Boldt]

I have a new requirements mirror in place for anyone to play with.

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/SR1-M/, 
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/extras/SR1a/

The SR1-M site is completely new, whereas the extras SR1a site is the 
same site as before, except it now contains a patched version of Spring 
IDE 2.7.2 which won't break your Welcome screen (JBDS-1966).

---

Next, I'll be creating new target platforms based on this new site 
(JBIDE-10289).

Cheers,

Nick
