It doesn't give me enough control. I always set up instances with their 
own jvm.config and a properties file specific for that instance.

Yes. You will probably need to correct some paths in the CF 
Administrator after it started.

No. It is not officially supported and if you follow the manual you need 
to deploy your application through the JRun management console. I have 
never had any problem with that either, but since just dropping the .EAR 
in and restarting works too I usually don't bother.

I have no cfusion.ear folder, i have a projectname-buildnr.ear file 
which I remove and a custom startup script that removes everything in 
SERVER-INF/tmp/

Yes.
