[jbossdeveloper] [Proposal] One BOM for Wildfly/EAP 7

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

I was never a big fan of the separate BOM's but I recall that one of the 
reasons for this
was to allow JDF/WFK quoickstarts to move a bit faster/independent 
without waiting for the full
overall BOM pom to be ready ?

Will that no longer be an issue ?
