This is kinda a bit different, my page is about using the examples, yours is about a user creating a new app. Once we have some releases of your stuff out, we should link the pages together :-)


Yep, that's my feeling too.

It could do, it would be better to investigate the JBoss maven plugin IMO.

 
I know the JBoss deploy plugin quite well. It does use JBOSS_HOME by default, but can be overridden in the Maven plugin configuration. But the best solution is to assign the JBOSS_HOME to a Maven property and then use that propery in the plugin configuration. Then, you can use either JBOSS_HOME or the Maven property to tune the value. What I don't think is possible (w/o some build magic) is to have Maven read the value in build.properties (because that would just make life too easy, say the Maven guys).
