[jboss-as7-dev] AS7-1807

[Jason T. Greene]

I have committed a slightly different solution that is triggered by 
creating an optional product.conf in the bin directory. This file 
specifies the "slot" to load for the product definition module 
(org.jboss.as.product). This module includes a MANIFEST.MF which defines 
a product name, a product version, and also the slot to use for the 
console. These values are used to compute startup log messages and are 
also present as root attributes in the management model. The use of the 
indirection file avoids forcing IDEs or other launchers to know the 
product to pass as a parameter, and it also allows for multiple 
different product definitions modules.

If there is no product.conf, standard community behavior is exhibited.

I compiled a mock EAP 6.0 example using the EAP L&F build of the console:

Just extract the following in jboss.home:
