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

So where today (and in the past) we've linked all the build process to the latest version (starting with parent pom and associate.properties files to link to the latest target platform or composite requirements mirror), in future you would rather see all those references STAY on SR0 instead of moving up to newer versions as they're released?

... while at the same time, jbds.target WOULD move up to the latest versions?

> 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.
