Totally agree with Mazz (with respect to the rabbit hole).
Simple scripts for common install tasks (add-user/etc...) should be
enough. And they should not require the server to be half-started but
simply operate on files.

After seeing the work involved in prior products' installers, it
is my recommendation we do everything in our power to avoid writing a custom installer and
to not worry about covering all customization/configuration possibilities.
Perhaps we write a simple bash script that takes a few parameters and does a bunch of
simple file manipulations to change standalone.xml, push files from here to there, that
kind of thing. But unless we want to devote alot of time and resources to do it
"right" let's try avoid writing an installer. That is a rabbit hole I
don't think we should commit to going down right now.
Just my $0.02 based on past experience.
