[Hawkular-dev] Installer

[John Mazzitelli]

After seeing the work involved in prior products' installers, it is my recommendation we do everything in our power to avoid writing a custom installer and to not worry about covering all customization/configuration possibilities.

Perhaps we write a simple bash script that takes a few parameters and does a bunch of simple file manipulations to change standalone.xml, push files from here to there, that kind of thing. But unless we want to devote alot of time and resources to do it "right" let's try avoid writing an installer. That is a rabbit hole I don't think we should commit to going down right now.

Just my $0.02 based on past experience.
