I just realized that I have no idea how that works nowadays:-) But I
think you are probably missing a RunConfigurationFactory that feels
responsible for your kind of project or something.

You have a Project.

A project has a list of Targets.

Each Target has *exactly* and *always* one Kit (and each target will
have a different Kit), as well as a list of BuildConfigurations,
DeployConfigurations and RunConfigurations. Think of it as a bit of
glue that connects a Kit, the Project and the *Configurations. That's
all there is to it.

The Build-/DeployConfigurations hold a list of BuildSteps.

It's not that complicated:-)
