This is a new task to start weblogic managed servers. This task is different than the <wlrun> task that is used to start an administrative server and will cause ant to run until the server is stopped. This task will start the managed server by contacting the admin server, which then starts the managed server via the NodeManager. This task will allow users to start servers remotely also. The task is similar enough to <wlstop> that it may be best to make a common parent class for both <wlstop> and <wlstart>.

A common parent class would make it easier to create future tasks like <wlstatus> that might return the state of the specified managed server. Or <wlping>, etc.
