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

[Olaf Bergner]

Yes, I was afraid this would have some repercussions. Anyway, I think as 
a starter it might be sufficient if the build system supported creating 
a minimal distribution. Using the term "product" was probably a little 
premature.

Using OSGi instead of the Modular Service Container programming model 
directly is a good point. I'll look into it and will see how it works.
