[wildfly-dev] Deploying JDBC driver to WildFly

[Scott Marlow]

We should probably have a wizard or tool for adding persistence 
providers also.  That is easier with WildFly 8.x but could be easier.  I 
think that the EAP installer might have a wizard for adding JDBC 
drivers, so that is always an option for users.
