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

[Stuart Douglas]

I say that we should leave it out.

Unless the user wants the exact version of Groovy that we are shipping 
it may not actually be helpful anyway.

There are lots of things that we could ship that 'could be useful to 
some users' (e.g. Spring, pretty much every java web framework), however 
unless there is a compelling reason to include them I think we should 
just let the user package the exact version they want in their jars.
