I am new Forge as well as Java and JBoss. When I execute the as7 deploy command I get the following error. I am assuming forge will download and install JBoss AS7 image. Or should I install JBoss AS7 before hand for this command to work. I appreciate any help. As well if you can point me to any documentation on this, I will appreciate it. Thank you.
