So this is a bug? Couldn't find it in Bugzilla.

We have several target platforms, selected through a system property
(-Dsimrel=kepler, -Dsimrel=luna, etc.) and used in a Hudson matrix
build. Moving the patch feature to the POM would mean putting the
<extraRequirements> in a profile that is only activated when simrel ==
kepler. Not exactly straight-forward, but might work.

We would require a separate target platform file for the IDE, I am
afraid. :-(
