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

Per decisions made in http://ether-man.rhcloud.com/p/build.next on Oct 10, the target platform used for building all of JBT should now be the latest minimum one (currently SR0b) rather than the latest maximum (currently SR1):

{quote}
    JBT - set up component jobs to do this:
    [Mistria] create profiles for "minimum" and "maximum" targets
    [Mistria] update jobs to do this:
    mvn clean install -DskipTests -Pminimum.target (or equivalent) # build 
    publish.sh # publish
    mvn verify -f tests/pom.xml -Platest.target (or equivalent) # test

> 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.
