[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10312) Define a minimal target platform as opposed to the recommend one we have now for builds

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12724039#comment-12724039 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-10312:
----------------------------------------

I updated target-platform pom to have GAV changing on groups only (groups contain for instance jbosstools-JunoSR1), and artifactId always being on of multiple/unified/jenkins/local. This make things much more homogeneous.
I also updated parent pom to use this new convention. I introduced a property to change target-platform, currently it's set to jbosstools-JunoSR1.

I'm wondering whether we should not use 2 properties to select a TP (one for the group, the other for the kind), and keep only a single target profile, activated by default.

> Seeing JBIDE-10311 made me realize that we actually could catch these by having a *minimal* target platform to either build or test against.
> The problem here is that a plugin got a plugin dependency based on the target platform - but the target platform have the latest 3.7.1 version meaning those users running 3.7.0 would have problems installing it.
> If we had a minimal target platform (.target) we could actually install/verify these issues against it.
> Not necessarily every night - but like once a week run the build or install the updatesite against the minimal target platform would
> reveal these dependency issues.
> WDYT?
