[jboss-as7-dev] [Proposal] Create minimal distribution as generic service container

[Carlo de Wolf]

Some time ago I introduced a build propery -Dminimalistic in the build. 
This creates a stripped down AS which you talk about and it was the base 
onto which Fedora JBoss AS was created.

With a small patch it works again, see 
https://github.com/wolfc/jboss-as/tree/minimalistic. Note that you can't 
use ./build.sh as it add ts.smoke property by default, so run mvn directly.

jmx-remoting should be an optional module, but I have not looked too deep.
