Maybe having to install and learn to manage emacs and custom edit the
emacs config to modify the Jetty log system (for example) is a bit too
much for the average Windows user.
Not my case (I use emacs every now and then), but I see this as a major
handicap for spreading use of the JBoss/Jetty bundle and subsequent
world domination :). I see Scott point of view more practical. OTOH, I
also agree that this approach should not be the general case, but
necesary for this.
I say this because I have to modify every now and then Jetty files and
having them on a SAR by default is a PITA.
