[jboss-as7-dev] JSF Groovy support in AS8?

[ssilvert at redhat.com]

Mojarra has supported Groovy for quite some time now.  It's kind of neat
because you can prototype JSF artifacts with Groovy and achieve dynamic
reloading of these artifacts during development.  Here is the original
introduction to this feature from way back in 2008.

Today, if you want to use this feature with AS you have to download
Groovy and package it with your WAR.

I have the code already written to add Groovy support to AS8 and it
works well.  The only downside is that it introduces a module for
groovy-all.jar, which is about 6MB.

Any thoughts?
