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

[Aleksandar Kostadinov]

I am wondering if we could have some modules in a public repo (maven?) 
and if they are required by a deployed artifact, they can be downloaded 
to the server.

I think software that we don't provide full formal support like groovy 
are good candidates.
