[forge-dev] arquillian powered forge deployer

[Andrew Lee Rubinger]

Sounds to me like this is something to be broken off from Arquillian 
honestly.  If we draw the bounds of Arquillian to be:

"An adaptor between test lifecycle and backing container lifecycle, with 
additional services support"

...then it sounds like the logic of doing deployment (to be reused by 
other projects) should live outside Arquillian, and be consumed both by 
these other projects and Arquillian itself.

In that case we'd reopen the discussion of a deployment abstraction 
project to be shared by all.
