[jboss-as7-dev] Scripts in bin/

[Sarah Gerweck]

It's kind of hard to argue that users should have to add two directories to 
their PATH, unless you can really make a differentiation between 
administrative functions and a user-mode set of functions.

E.g., you might have a JBoss lite directory that just has the basics like 
start, stop, maybe deploy for the typical developer who just wants to start 
up a container and run a war/ear, and then another directory that is more 
targeted at JBoss administrators. There is something positive to be said 
about not polluting my PATH if I'm running on my laptop and all I really 
want is start, stop, deploy & undeploy. (In that kind of scenario, I'd 
rather have a quick way to set up an unsecured interface on localhost than 
mess around with stuff like add-user.sh, which is overkill for development.)

Just my opinion as a user,
Sarah Gerweck

I vote we nix it and have one flat bin directory
