That makes sense.  I'm already configuring ports and whatnot in
standalone.xml, so that should fit in fine, even so.

AS7 is soo different from previous releases-- which I'm down with.  I
really want to get my head around the domain stuff.

Alright, sounds good!  The button is the killer feature anyway.

For the record, I kind of like the "blank" shipment.  For completeness
I guess I'll toss in the idea that instead of tackling this "inside",
that there be a separate "newbie friendly/getting started" download
that strongly addresses many of the issues that you see when people
first get into the AS (can't think of anything besides ROOT.war right
now of course, but I suspect there are others... Eh.  Maybe a
welcome.jar could cover those too? *shrug*).
