Maven hard-deploy in JBOSS 7

Previousally we where using JBOSS 5 and the codehaus plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/jboss-maven-plugin) to deploy war to JBOSS. We where using the jboss:hard-depoly maven goal. This goal could be executed even if my JBOSS server was not up

Recently we moved to JBOSS 7, and started using the plugin (http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/7/plugins/maven/latest/) . we are now using the goal jboss-as:deploy goal. This plugin does not support hard-deploy and jboss must be started to run this goal.

Is there a specfic reason to not support the hard-deploy goal?Simply copying the war file to deployements directory in JBOSS 7 still works and why this goal is not included?

jboss-as plugin uses JBoss Management api to do everything it does. If Jboss AS7 is not up, there will of course be no JBoss Management endpoint handling requests. Having such hard-deploy would imply totally different approach - one would have to define JBoss home and parse its configuration offline. Since this is not in general supported by the plugin, I'd imagine that is the reason hard-deploy goal is not supported as well.
