Problem conclusion

• Users can customize their .simx or .tstx files,
  adding a property to the job properties:
  <jobDescriptor>
     <jsl:job xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
  id="simulation1" version="1.0">
        <jsl:properties>
           <jsl:property ... />
           [...]
           <jsl:property name="execution.post.deployment.delay"
  value="90" /> <!-- in that case that will be a delay of 90
  seconds -->
        </jsl:properties>
     [...]
