Why is this a waste of time?  Just go back to the last tag, grab that 
code and bring it back, create a new AS7 distro for it in distribution/. 
  Would take me like 30 minutes max.

Once we have adapters as separate downloads then we see who is using 
what platform.  BTW, we'll eventually have to see if we can create 
adapters for EAP4 and EAP5.  There's still customers on that too.

Also, I abstracted the adapter tests a little and ported them to work 
with Tomcat 6-8, Jetty 8-9.  If I knew Arquillian, I'd create AS7 tests 
too.  Sucks we can't distribute EAP, otherwise I'd do EAP too.
