[jboss-as7-dev] Looking for naming help

[Pete Muir]

Another option is add a strict flag to the deploy goal:

e.g.

strict -- default false, if false, the plugin will deploy the application if not already deployed, otherwise it will attempt a redeploy.

Of course, I'm arguing for false as the default, but we could have true. Either way, removes the naming problem..
