[jboss-as7-dev] handy general purpose classes in org.jboss.as.cli

[Brian Stansberry]

General purpose things can go in the "helper" packages in the 
controller-client module; that module and jboss-dmr are the core 
management API.[1]

Anything that goes in controller-client though, we have to be extremely 
anal as it's a forever commitment. Everything has to be in the perfect 
package with the perfect class name and method name. (I admit it's 
probably not perfect yet.) E.g. the cli's 
Util.getDeployments(ModelControllerClient) will only work against 
standalone so if it becomes public API it has to be in the 
helpers.standalone package. And I don't want anything that calls into 
subsystems in controller-client.

[1]  I'd thought about a separate module for helper stuff (what's 
currently in the o.j.a.controller.helpers packages in controller-client) 
but in the end we are committing to those APIs and they don't introduce 
new dependencies, so I didn't see any benefit to a separate module.
