While taking a look at a change to the start up scripts I'm reminded on
what a PITA it is to get consistent behavior across platforms. There are
4 scripts, not including daemon style scripts, to launch WildFly. In
addition to the 4 scripts there are 4 I guess extension scripts. Any
change needed is likely needed in 4 of the files.
I've created an API to launch WildFly [1]. I'm proposing we could use
the API to launch WildFly. We could nix the *.conf and *.conf.bat files
and go to two properties files; a standalone.properties and a
domain.properties. The normal start up scripts would remain, but be
reduced to only setup essential environment variables and invoke a main
class in the launcher API[2]. Note this is by no means complete, just an
example of how it could be done.
If has any opinions on this let me know. It would allow making changes a
lot easier.

I like the idea in general, as there are currently too many knobs to operate.
I think though that users and tools (like RHQ/JON) have already added
a lot of functionality to twiddle those .conf and what not files.
So at least make sure it gets right the first time and does not need too many iterations

If we were to do it this way it would be another process. I also experimented with just
echoing the command back and running it that way. The issue there is a JVM is started to
get the command. There could be a better way too. If anyone has suggestions, I'm open
to them. --

What would that mean in practice?
Extra jvm launcher process that will start wildfly.
or will this be in run in same process?
