Make app server deployment options more intuitive in seam gen
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-4107
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4107
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Tools
    Affects Versions: 2.1.2.CR1
         Environment: Nightly build for 2.1.2 from trunk
opensuse 11.1 x86_64
            Reporter: John Ament
            Priority: Trivial


seam setup could be a bit more intuitive when it comes to selecting default app server for deployment.

Currently it is requesting:

    [input] Enter your JBoss AS home directory [C:/Program Files/jboss-4.2.3.GA] [C:/Program Files/jboss-4.2.3.GA]
/opt/jboss/jboss-5.0.1.GA-1
    [input] Enter your JBoss AS domain [default] [default]
all
    [input] Enter your GlassFish V2 or V3 home directory (Ignore if you aren't deploying to GlassFish) [C:/Program Files/glassfish-v2.1] [C:/Program Files/glassfish-v2.1]

    [input] Enter your GlassFish domain (Ignore if you aren't deploying to GlassFish) [domain1] [domain1]

Instead, maybe it could prompt with the following questions:

Select your default app server [jboss] [glassfish] [tomcat]
jboss
Enter your JBoss AS home directory []
/path/to/jboss/install
Enter your JBoss AS domain []
default

Similar prompts for glassfish as well (and maybe only make tomcat available if you're deploying a war file?)

I think by adding this, it would be easier to integrate additional app servers into the seam options.

Of course, the flip side is that by doing this you're limited to a single app server deployment mode.  For IT it's not a bad approach (since they're usually app server specific anyways).  To alleviate this problem though, maybe add a new seam target add-appserver ?  It can prompt for the same things I listed above.
