JCLOUDS-758 Drop VirtualBox labs provider.
> Drop virtualbox labs provider
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: JCLOUDS-758
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-758
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: jclouds-labs
> Reporter: Adrian Cole
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.8.2
>
>
> Virtualbox support has been in experimentation mode for over 2.5 years.
> Working directly with a hypervisor adds extra responsibility, such as both
> orchestrating processes and also api calls. Moreover environment setup can be
> extremely brittle.
> This provider has had a lot of work from folks including [~andreaturli],
> [~dr-alves], mattias, and myself. However, we cannot deny that it has failed
> to progress and labs was never intended as a permanent location.
> I recommend we remove the virtualbox provider, but thank the authors for
> their valiant efforts.
