Description

As a developer, I want to add an attribute of "baseController" to the root Alloy xml tag in an Alloy Controller, So that I can define the baseController of a new controller without having to create a .js file.

<Alloy baseController="myBaseController">
    <Label text="baseControllerTest" />
</Alloy>
