Reviving Cargo Tracker

With all the recent discussions triggered by Reza's leaving Oracle, I
wonder if this is a good moment to revive this project and make it more
accessible.

Some suggestions:

- Move to GitHub (or simply fork, creating a new GitHub organization for
this and other sample projects - maybe javaee-guardians...?).

- Make sure the project works out of the box, ideally on any Java EE 7
server.

- Support Eclipse.

- Support WildFly.

- Support TomEE 7.

- Add more integration tests, both with Arquillian and Pax Exam.

- Add UI tests with Serenity BDD and Selenium.

- Create a standalone fat JAR with WildFly Swarm.

I'd be happy to help to make things work with Eclipse and WildFly - this
is my daily work environment.

Right now, I have Cargo Tracker running locally with WildFly 9.0.1 and
Eclipse Mars.2/JBoss Tools after a couple of minor changes. In
particular, I don't see any major issues with Cargo Tracker in Eclipse
at all, contrary to what Reza reported, so it's probably just an issue
of setting up Eclipse with an appropriate set of plugins.


Best regards,

Harald
