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

[Brian Stansberry]

Data point: 6MB would be a 4.9% increase in download size vs EAP 
6.1.0.Alpha1.

Does this groovy integration involve any integration code? I assume so 
(to make the module visible), otherwise users would have to declare 
module dependencies, which for many may be harder than just packaging 
the jar.

Do we intend to formally support this over the long run? If not, any 
integration will need to be ripped out at the start of productization.
