Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-12761:
------------------------------------

If you want to use the older TP site, they're here: 

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_4.0.juno.SR0/
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_4.0.juno.SR0a/

and now the newest one:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_4.0.juno.SR1/

How do you propose we build/verify that everything works against the latest (SR1, SR2) while still ALSO verifying that it builds/works against the minimum (SR0) ?

> Currently, TP contains the latest version of all dependencies. However, JBT can run on lower versions of Eclipse. It happens that developer introduce a depdendency on a very recent version when it's not necessary because they rely on our target-platform.
> Instead, TP should contain the minimal versions of all dependencies that are compatible with JBoss Tools. Then developers can rely on very old version, and when necessary, request usage of new one and break dependencies.
> Installation tests are already there to verify installation on latest versions of Eclipse.
