JBINSTALL-25 Install configuration should not hide packages

This particular issue is fixable by simply adding all packs to the ejb3 install group, or may be adding a whole new install group 'ejb3-all'.

Showing all packs introduces the problem with having to require exactly one of two packs to be selected ("mc-minimal" or "minimal").

My proposed sytax for this feature is to add an "optionGroup" attribute to the pack tag like this:

<pack name="mc-minimal" installGroups="all" optionGroup="PickTheLoader/>
 <pack name="minimal" installGroups="all" optionGroup="PickTheLoader/>

All packs in the same optionGroup are mutually exclusive, but exactly one is required to be selected. It's possible to make the PacksPanel to display them as a group of radio buttons or a combobox.

Is this feature needed for now?

This is related to http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBINSTALL-44. Currently ejb3 and ejb3-clusted profiles don't have many enough packs. We can add all the packs from the "all" profile to the ejb3 profiles.

Regarding JBINSTALL-25, check if izpack allows showing packs with no checkbox. smth like selected="no"

There is no feature in izpack to help disallow installing certain packs and show them in the list. Since we already have so many incompatible packs especially those coming from ejb3 I suggest either making a strict policy what kind of packs are allowed in a certain version/branch of the installer (from all installgroups) and implement the needed features, or bury JBINSTALL-25.
Who wants to see unavailable packs anyways?
