So i've hopefully fixed the validate - so that you can activate your profile without being affected by the others which are currently being activated. Furthermore i create a AbtractProfileFactory which just generates a AbstractProfile for now. We most probably are want to change that at one point and make it more useful :) I also updated the ProfileServiceBoostrap to shutdown the profiles it loaded first. Which means that you should now be able to let HASingletonController activate/deactivate the profile. On shutdown it will undeploy the clustering deployers first and you can stop that correctly.
