[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13673) jenkins jobs for components and aggregates should set overrides for TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION and TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION-maximum so we ensure that builds use the correct TP regardless of their root pom's included parent pom version

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-13673:
------------------------------------

Need max value for tests. Because at some point min won't be the same as max, and we test w/ max while building w/ min.

Having a select box for the version doesn't provide any more value than setting it as a hardcoded value in the job config. The top listed option is always selected when the build runs on schedule or when upstream change fires it. 

Why would you want to build one project w/ 4.30.5.Alpha and another with 4.30.5.Alpha2-SNAPSHOT ? That would just cause confusion and force you to have to READ the logs to know what was used. IMHO it's better if all jobs for a given stream use the same TP for building (and a different one for testing).

Besides, anyone who wants to edit the job to run once w/ a different TP can do so from the configure menu.
