Not really since we call from Java we still need "something" to wrap the url calls - wether that is the management client our our own code does make much sense.

We are down to two I believe - one for 7.0.0 and another one for all others. 

Yes it is better and fixed for now.

But once we hit AS8/AS9/EAP7 etc. will that continue ?

And as long as early releases of AS/EAP gets released
at a different schedule than tooling (which is expected) we'll always have this challenge and i'm just trying
to see if we can find an approach where we on the tooling side can handle these small bumps better than having
to rush around trying to add in mixed set of binaries to support an early beta/alpha release.

This is not possible from a web browser since JS code is not allowed to read arbitrary files. So for this reason we do not have support for it over http.
