Often it is used to have your specialised configuration. E.g. you copy the default configuration to a "myproject" configuration and can modify that while still having the default for reference. If you are working with branches you might want to have a separate configuration for a branch as well, perhaps only for different files in deploy/. It only adds to the flexibility. Just don't start a configuration twice at the same machine at the same time. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4058759#...
