> But other than Locus and the Browsersim Standalone zip, we don't ever use these artifacts, so they just:
> * eat disk space in Nexus
> * consume time/resources in Jenkins
> So, why don't we set a custome deployment strategy (eg., akin to *maven.deploy.skip=true*) in the jbosstools-targetplatform & jbosstools-discovery root pom to prevent this waste of time/space? Then we can just deploy the .target files, not the zips. 
> This would certainly speed up builds, which currently take 30-60 mins per TP build.
