Few improvements to the stratos installer

[Pradeep Fernando <pr...@gmail.com>]

Hi Dinesh,

First of all, nice work with the stratos installer...I used it. Here are
some of the improvements we can work on if others agree..

1 . It is good if we can get the source artifacts (eg cep artifacts and
otehr extenstions) within the installer itself. git clone inside the
installer and copy artifacts.

2. get jars from the online repos. eg andes jars from maven repos using
wget.

3. put default values to configuration. use 127.0.0.1 instead of mb-ip in
stratos installer. So that it works for localhost installation out of the
box.



few concerns,

- git checkout is slow since we are checking out the whole repo

solution,

moving the artifacts to a seperate repo. So the setup experiece should be
similar to openstack setup using devstack. It works OOTB for the localhost
installation.

just a thought. :)

thanks.
