Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-12761:
---------------------------------------------

Nick - why would we only catch dep problems in JBDS build ?

from what I would see JBT would catch them earlier if devs used something wrong ?

by building JBT with lowest common denominator we are sure it should work when the aggregator of JBDS runs and collect (not re-build) the right bits  or am I missing something ?

Mickael - you are missing that the manual/unit tests should be run against JBDS with latest/preferred deps too.....otherwise we dont spot the bugs.

> 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.
