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

I'm thinking that if we only build JBDS w/ the latest 4.2.x, we won't find these problems [1] as readily as when EVERYONE is testing their stuff against BOTH the minimum and the latest.

> 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.
