[jboss-as7-dev] port conflict with AS7 runs

[Vojtech Juranek]

You have tied your job to UNIX-slim label which contains slaves with multiple 
executors. So the most easy way how to awoid conflicts is to tie the job to 
another label (e.g. "linux"). Most of the slaves have only one executor and 
therefore there won't be any conflicts as the slave will always run only one 
job.

More complicated setup could be setup "Build after other projects are built" 
build trigger and specify colliding job. However if you have also configured 
SCM polling trigger and both jobs poll same SCM, this setup is useless as 
build triggers act independetly. 

I.e. I would recommend to change the job labels.
