      Having installation-manager and jboss-eap-installation-manager is confusing:

      ls -l bin/*install*
      bin/installation-manager.bat
      bin/installation-manager.properties
      bin/installation-manager.ps1
      bin/installation-manager.sh
      bin/jboss-eap-installation-manager-logging.properties
      bin/jboss-eap-installation-manager.bat
      bin/jboss-eap-installation-manager.ps1
      bin/jboss-eap-installation-manager.sh 

      I expect users will run the wrong one and be confused

       ./bin/installation-manager.sh 
      ERROR: Installation Manager properties file not found at /bin/installation-manager.properties. 

      The script has a header indicating that it is for internal use, it would be better if:

      • if it is run, the ERROR indicates this is for internal usage
      • if these internal scripts were in a hidden directory and perhaps even in a sub directory like $HOME/bin/.installer/....
      head bin/installation-manager.sh 
      #!/bin/sh
      # This script is only for internal usage and should not be invoked directly by the users from the command line.
