[Hawkular-dev] Installer

[Thomas Heute]

I definitely agree that:
   - we need to make it easy to install
   - an installer needs to be easy to maintain (reduce options in
particular)

We should also (re)consider our delivery options:
   - zip vs docker vs VM vs RPMs
We also can't do all, and it has an impact on how the various parts work
together.

For the server, I think it would be extremely helpful to have a dedicated
property file for all the typical configuration. By typical, I mean, the IP
to the cassandra cluster, the IP to the Keycloak server, enable/disable the
internal agent with username/password...
Does anyone know how we can keep the configuration.xml files but point to
properties in a different file ? I think it would be extremely helpful for
a user and an installer to just have to edit a simpe and documented
property file rather than messing around with the standalone.xml file that
change over time.
