Make sure you have both java 1.7 and 1.8 installed as well as both Jboss 7.1.1 
final and wildfly. Then just set your JAVA_HOME to point to either 7 or 8 
depending on what you are working on and the same with JBOSS_HOME

But honestly it is just easier to have a VM with the correct development 
environment configured that is what I do.
