[jbosstools-dev] New Feature for Target Platform: materialize a local "SDK"

[Mickael Istria]

Hi all,

as requested by Max and Rob on 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13462 , I've added an option on 
our Mojo that turns a target-platform file into a site.
The new feature is that if you specify 
"-Dmirror-target-to-repo.includeSources=true" to Maven while building a 
"multiple" target, it will generate aggregated/unified site that also 
contains available sources for the target-platform.

If for any reason you have an issue with using the "multiple.target" as 
the target-platform in your IDE (which is still the recommended 
procedure), then as a workaround you can build the target-platfroms with 
this flag, and it will result on a single site containing everything 
that is in mulitple + available source. You can use this local site a a 
Target-platfrom in your IDE, it will contain the same thing as it would 
resolve with multiple.
You use this site as an "Installation" when setting up a target-platform 
in multiple workspaces, then it won't re-download everything in each 
workspace.

If you're using multiple.target, and are happy enough with it, keep on 
using it.

Feedback is highly welcome.
