The as7 defines a JBoss AS JVM Resource type, similar to the ones defined by the as4 and as5 plugins:

      <server name="JBoss AS JVM"
              description="JVM of the JBossAS"
              sourcePlugin="JMX"
              sourceType="JMX Server"
              discovery="org.rhq.plugins.jmx.EmbeddedJMXServerDiscoveryComponent"
              class="org.rhq.plugins.jmx.JMXServerComponent"
              singleton="true">
        <runs-inside>
            <parent-resource-type name="JBossAS-Managed"  plugin="jboss-as-7"/>
            <parent-resource-type name="JBossAS7-Standalone"  plugin="jboss-as-7"/>
        </runs-inside>
      </server>


but discovery of this Resource fails with the following error in the Agent log:

It looks like we'll need to make BaseServerComponent implement JMXComponent in order to make this work.

Additionally, org.jboss.as.standalone and org.jboss.as.host-controller should be added to the process filters in JMXDiscoveryComponent to prevent the AS7 JVMs from also being discovered as standalone JMX Server Resources.
