[forge-dev] Forge plugin for different Application Servers

[Dan Allen]

Rafael,

Ideally, support for multiple application servers (even AS 7) would be done
by leveraging Arquillian's container adapters. You don't want to have to do
all the work again of creating these adapters, so reuse is key.
Arquillian's container adapters are not coupled to the Arquillian Core, so
you can use them standalone.

There is a prototype of a maven plugin that supports any container with an
Arquillian adapter here:

https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-maven

You'll likely just want to use this as a reference point when developing
the forge plugin (you don't have to go through Maven).

Of course, you could also create a Forge plugin that simply configures the
Arquillian Maven plugin. Feel free to experiment to figure out which
approach is best.
