Ok - i've removed the javascript magic so its just basic localhost:9990 in the pullrequest.

ROOT.war gives this kind of error:
18:39:38,914 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-3) Starting deployment of "ROOT.war"
18:39:39,131 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-3) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.web."ROOT.war": org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web."ROOT.war": Failed to start service

So that doesn't work ;)

Setting enable-welcome-root=false did though so I added that as a foot note on the welcome page in the pull request and now
the page looks like this: http://screencast.com/t/Crau0rOIk3p

If anyone got a better/shorter version of the explanation - even more awesome :)

But please merge some of this in so we get rid of that 1mb welcome page.
