I don't think we should advocate the use of the felix file install for
application deployment as it will not work well with OSGi enabled Java
EE applications unless we hook up our deployment backend to module
installation etc... which we are not planning to do anytime soon.
we should have a "autodeploy" like feature implemented on top of the $
{com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/autodeploy-modules so that it still goes
through the application server deployment infrastructure. Until that
is done, I think we should not advocate the current usage.
