Eliminate build time configuration directories and replace with tool for generating configuration through the profile service API
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-5599
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5599
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Build System, Getting Started Guide, Installation Guide, Installer, Management services, ProfileService, Server Configuration Guide, Test Suite
            Reporter: Andrig Miller
         Assigned To: Paul Gier
             Fix For: No Release


With the addition of the profile service, it seems silly to generate various configurations, like "all", "default" and "minimal" through the build.  Instead we should have a tool that generates the configuration through the profile service, with the understanding of the dependencies of the various features.

The tool could still have the concepts of "all", "default" and "minimal" embedded in it to make the transition easier, but most times to do the testing that we need to do we customize the configuration.  We also add an additional configuration in productizing the EAP, and this would simplify that process as well.

This tool would have to be usable at the command-line, in JBoss Tools, and from the installer.
