[jbosstools-dev] Content and usage of target platforms (was Re: New mechanism for target=platforms)

wether they are composite, aggregated, multiple or unified is rather irrelevant IMO. (its important for build setup for sure)

Its whats in them that is different - one has source jars, the others dont.

One is for building against, the other is for PDE.

multiple shouldn't actually be used by anyone but PDE users.

or unified should get these added too.

...but the build need to be very clear that the final result does not include the full target platform since that would now point to unnecessary sources
