+ It is now possible to reference an existing target file inside another target:

+ <img src="images/include_target_1.png" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ This could be used for different purposes:
+ <ul>
+ <li>You could use a target from a remote location (e.g. github-repository using http-protocol) in your local IDE.</li>
+ <li>You could use a target deployed at a maven repository using the mvn:<groupid>:<artifactid>:<version> (this requires m2eclipse with PDE integration)</li>
+ <li>You could extend an existing local target using eclipse-variables</li>
+ <li>You could combine any of the above options</li>
