Sorry for cutting the whole message to just this point, but before
talking about the other points, I just want to clarify one thing: the
 admin does *not* need to deal with KC at all when trying things out.
To run a metrics server, one just runs the start.sh and Keycloak just
happens to be there as an implementation detail.

Once the admin is ready to bring things to production, then Keycloak
becomes a "concern", like any other backend would be (LDAP, SAML, ...).

Since the demo, I've been looking at how other projects are
integrating with Keycloak. The common scenario seems to be that their
Maven profiles build a "distribution" that is Wildfly + Keycloak +
WARs. So, the user just uncompresses this distribution package and has
everything ready (this is similar to what we had in GateIn).

Would this be a solution? I remember seeing somewhere that the goal is
not to be dependent on Wildfly[1], but not sure if this design goal is
still accurate.
