[jboss-as7-dev] CLI Archive

[Brian Stansberry]

Notes from a conversation today with Dimitris, John, Jesper, Jason. Not 
an urgent priority, just some ideas.

Idea is to have an archive format that can be processed by the CLI. The 
contents are:

1) A script containing CLI commands; the same kind of file it can read now.

2) Any content associated with the commands.

The commands that refer to the content (e.g. deploy foo.war) would use 
paths relative to the root of archive.

Basically package content together with the script.

The file could be created by hand, or by the CLI itself (or the web 
console) by recording commands and then instead of executing them, write 
out the archive.
