[jbosstools-dev] Current WTP-style project offerings

[Rob Stryker]

Ok I've got something working for the BPEL with only minimal changes. It 
took some finessing but that's it. I still need to know our backwards 
compatibility requirements with previous versions (if there were any), 
with the eclipse bpel project, which folders the source belong in, where 
we expect the .class files to go inside the resultant jar, etc etc etc.
