As a deployment, it's easy. But deploying it as a module is more 
involved and most of it is boilerplate 
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DataSourceConfigurationinAS7#Installing_a_JDBC_driver_as_a_module. 
So I was thinking if we should simplify adding it as a module via admin 
console (autogenerate the module.xml and other stuff based on the user 
input) or even the CLI perhaps. Having said that, I don't know how many 
users will be opting for deploying the JDBC driver as a module.
