Due to the GAV refactoring you may run into a problem using the new TPs
in their current form w/o patching [1] & rebuilding the parent pom.

"Failed to resolve target definition
/home/nboldt/.m2/repository/org/jboss/tools/target-platforms/jbdevstudio/unified/4.30.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/unified-4.30.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT-unified.target"

"Failed to load metadata repository from location
http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/targetplatforms/jbdevstudiotarget/4.30.0.Alpha1/REPO/"

[1]
https://issues.jboss.org/secure/attachment/12360088/12360088_JBIDE13232.parent.pom.tweaks.txt

---

HOWEVER, you can use @mistria's version of the bits (older GAV & URLs,
same content) w/o hacking the parent pom like this:

 > mvn clean install ... -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION=4.2.0.c-SNAPSHOT -U
 > mvn clean install ... -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION=4.2.1.a-SNAPSHOT -U
 > mvn clean install ... -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION=4.3.0.M4-SNAPSHOT -U

Soon, I'll be switching the parent pom in 40x and master branches to use
the new GAV path /org/jboss/tools/targetplatforms/jbdevstudio-unified/
instead of /org/jboss/tools/target-platforms/jbdevstudio/unified/, which
will make the old TPs unusable.

Stay tuned!
