Description
It would be nice to have a way to add the SwitchYard modules and other resources to an existing AS7 installation. This does not have to be a full-blown installer. It could just be another distro with an ant script or maybe a maven pom that takes the bits and slaps them into AS7. This shouldn't be much more than copying in modules, updating the standalone configuration (maybe give the user a choice of the config - e.g. standalone, standalone-preview), deploying our admin console, etc., etc.
Did something for this.... https://github.com/tfennelly/jboss-switchyard-release/tree/SWITCHYARD-435
Basically... broke out an AS7 "Bundle" module that assembles all the AS7 standalone artifacts (modules, forge, quickstarts etc). The AS7 dist then uses this to create the traditional Standalone distro zip + a new Installer zip that contains the Bundle + an ant script for installing in the target AS7 installation (with the XSL for transforming standalone.xml).
Only part I'm missing now is how to install/deploy more than one artifact from a maven project. If there's no way then I'll have to split out a new "installer" module.
