[jbosstools-dev] Recent parent pom changes

[Nick Boldt]

A quick recap of some changes in the new 4.5.2.AM3-SNAPSHOT version of the
parent pom.

* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-25427 bump up target platform
versions to MIN = Oxygen.1a, MAX = Oxygen.2

Due to some JDT incompatibilities, the minimum version of Eclipse required
for JBT 4.5.2 / devstudio 11.2 is now Oxygen.1a, not Oxygen.0. Therefore
builds will run with Oxygen.1a and tests with Oxygen.2.

* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18654 add jdeps profile

This is to allow running builds with jdeps to see what JDK changes might
break your code; default JDK is OpenJDK 1.8, but there are properties
available if you want to run with a different version or vendor.

* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18654 add support for jdk9 (with
mvn 3.5.2 and Tycho 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT)

Thanks to a recent update in Tycho 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT, we can now run mvn 3.5.2
builds against JDK 9. See JIRA for an example of how to do so.

* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-25514 upgrade to
maven-dependency-plugin 3.0.2

Jeff requested this change to fix a problem running `mvn dependency:tree`.

This should be the last batch of changes before year's end.

Cheers,

Nick
