fair warning: If you usee create-domain and want to have multiple
domains active at the same time, make sure that you start the domains
(including the default domain) BEFORE you issue the create-domain
command. create-domain can detect port conflict IF the ports are in use
and will select free ports.
NetBeans also allows you to create a domain, but it uses a different
approach.
You get GUI goodness for setting the ports to specific values for the
domain and the ports are not set to the default values. It is still
possible for the user to set up the ports so the domains cannot be
running at the same time.... But you have to work harder at it.
