    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16082?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12926211#comment-12926211 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-16082:
------------------------------------

Yes, but ONLY if there's a reason to prevent it. If the component's plugins don't depend on anything that changed between Kepler and Luna, and therefore there's no fork needed, then there's no reason to prevent installation into both Luna and Kepler. Only components that are not compatible w/ both Luna and Kepler should prevent their installation into Luna.

> We already know (from JBIDE-15639) that components like Arquillian, Forge, Server, and Hibernate will not compile with Luna dependencies due to the fact that the upstream projects on which they depend have changed in incompatible ways.
> Therefore, JBT 4.2 / JBDS 8 is being built to *ONLY work with Luna*. 
> But the converse should be true, too: we don't want users installing JBT 4.1 / JBDS 7.x onto Luna and ending up with something that *doesn't work*, even if it can be installed that way.
> *Solution:*
> Update manifest.mf files to PREVENT installing key parts of JBT 4.1 / JBDS 7.x into Luna, so that no user will hit this problem.
