Two changes have happened recently in the jst.j2ee component that affect server
tools:
 * Support for multiple modules per project has been removed.
 * Due to the facets support, several new ids and versions have been defined for
each of the J2EE projects.

Server tools support for multiple modules per project was only exposed in one
method - ServerUtil.getModules(). Since this method returned an array just to
satisfy the J2EE requirement, it should revert to its earlier form that returned
a single module per project. Although this is a change, in the long term this
will make things simpler for downstream components. The changed method is now as
follows:
  IModule ServerUtil.getModule(IProject)

The ids defined for the facet support are the new recommended ids. Instead of
keeping different ids and versions in the server tools, we should use the same
ids to maintain simplicity. Similarly, jst.j2ee is using the module version
levels instead of using the J2EE version throughout. The changes to the types
are as follows:
  j2ee.web (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) -> jst.web (2.2, 2.3, 2.4)
  j2ee.ejb (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) -> jst.ejb (1.2, 2.0, 2.1)
  j2ee.ear (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) -> jst.ear (1.2, 1.3, 2.4)
  j2ee.utility (1.0) -> jst.utility (1.0)
