It seems that we need a lot of changes in jboss plugin. Actually the question is if it will be better to create a new plugin for jboss5 -> as copy of jboss4 plugin with all these changes -> it's due to all these changes may affect jboss4 servers functionality and keep it consistence is much more difficult than create a new plugin.
