[Geoserver-devel] Installer @ 8080

Is there any reason not to pick a slightly less busy port for the
installer to go into? I just ran into the Oracle IAS service by
accident. Since the installer is often being used for quick
evaluations and teaching, having the service less likely to collide
with existing services would be nice. 8888? 8181?

There are lots of corporate firewalls/content filters that only allow HTTP connections to :80 and :8080

It would be nice if we could prompt the user to change it during installation.

Agreed. That should* not be difficult to do in the new Windows installer. JIRA to me if you'd like, and I'll add it to the pile.
