I've already broken it down as much as I can. The bottom class is
calling the same definition 10 times to set up 10 instances of jboss
on a single system, and another definition is running 10 times to
setup 10 instances of tomcat on the same server (don't blame me...
it's the way our software was built). So.... I can't really subclass
that. It would be nice for clarity to break each definition into a
separate file however. Poo.
