[jboss-as7-dev] Community AS8 Management API Changes and Freeze Dates

[Cheng Fang]

For batch integration into AS 8, we will add some basic management 
capabilities for batch jobs, executions, and step metrics.  They can be 
accessed from both admin console and cli.  Initially these are mostly 
read operations and I expect the management framework already fully 
support them.
