[jbosstools-dev] FYI: Kepler JEE bundle has been discontinued after M7

[Nick Boldt]

So... if we move up to RC2 next week:

06/03/13    7.0.0.Beta2    Start new target platform 
4.30.5.Alpha6-SNAPSHOT Kepler 4.3.0.RC2(a)
06/10/13    7.0.0.Beta2    Release target platform 4.30.5.Alpha6; update 
jobs

and discover there's a problem, we can respin and pull down RC3 bits the 
week after (during JUDCON/Red Hat Summit)...

06/10/13    7.0.0.Beta2    New target platform 4.30.5.Alpha7 ?    Kepler 
4.3.0.RC3    only if needed
06/11/13    7.0.0.Beta2    Release target platform 4.30.5.Alpha7; update 
jobs ?    Kepler 4.3.0.RC3    only if needed

Or is this enough of a problem that we should just wait for RC3?
