[forge-dev] TomEE JBoss Forge Plugin

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

https://github.com/forge/plugin-tomee

I've made you an admin (dblevins github username,) so you can add as many
people to the team as you want (I think?) If not, let me know and I'll add
them.

For the other things (website update, and central plugin index) just send
pull requests for the updates :)

Also if you wanted to add TomEE as a supported container to the forge core
runtime that woulds be awesome, too. (Just see my note about adding the
JPAContainer class like we have for AS7, GlassFish, and a few others!)

And of course, let me know if you want some help, George and I are both
glad to assist.

Copying Forge-dev for posterity.

Welcome to the team!! Really excited to have you guys on board :) This is a
big step forward for realizing true portability in Java EE!
