Plugin Groups

Plugin groups are basically groups of plugins for users to easily understand and consume them. They can be used in the following ways:
1. custom server assemblies
2. G server assemblies (framework, javaee5)
3. install plugin group as regular plugin. For example, a user should be able to install the JMS plugin group in little G to get little G +JMS environment.
