Given that the SOA-P run time will change from release to release, we need some generic way of validating ESB files in Eclipse projects for specific run time versions. This might be done at the package level (that is, when creating a deployment package), but ideally would be done "live:" as the user makes changes, warnings/errors would appear in the Eclipse Problems view. To accomplish this, we would need to set a (minimum? probably not, because backward compatibility is not supported) "SOA-P run time level" (like the JVM level) and have a validation model for checking. The idea is to avoid simple compatibility errors appearing at run time where they could have been noticed at design time.

(This is related to, but larger than, the ESB reference tracking work.)
