[jbosstools-dev] Recommandation: Using a target-platform in your IDE

[Mickael Istria]

Hi all,

After some investigations around JBIDE-11726 
<https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11726> (Create target platforms 
for developer), we have arrived to an interesting result by having 
378987 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378987> 
and**JBIDE-12003 <https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12003> fixed, so 
that target platform should be much more stable (CI job only publish 
them after validating they can successfully be resolved) and having make 
progress about JBIDE-11689 
<https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11689>, by using "includeSource" 
flag on target-platforms.

So if you want to be less surprised by dependencies-related issue, here 
is a way to make your IDE use an equivalent target as the one used by 
build, without loosing ability to view source:
1. Checkout the build/target-platform folder in your workspace
2. Open *multiple.target* using the target editor
3. Ckick on "*Set as Target"* on the upper-right corner

Then, PDE will rely on this target definition to resolve dependencies 
(from Eclipse, Atlassian, SpringSource and other 3rd-party deps we have).
In order to resolve other JBoss Tools stuff, you may want to complete it 
with entries from our development update-sites to resolve other modules 
if you need, but please don't commit anything to this TP before opening 
a ticket to the target-platform component.

Your feedback is welcome on JBIDE-11726.
