To handle application deployments that contain their own Hibernate 
Search jars, we would need to make an adjustment.  Instead of having the 
Hibernate ORM module depend on the Hibernate Search module (this is what 
we currently do in AS7 via 1-1 bidirectional dependencies), we would 
need to include the Hibernate Search jars in the Hibernate ORM module. 
This is specific to WildFly 8 (assuming my WF8 patch is merged in).

If we don't put Hibernate Search into the ORM module, we will face the 
same blocking issue that I saw very late on AS7, which is the JipiJapa 
integration code module (used to be in AS7 codebase) depends on the 
static Hibernate ORM module which conflicts with the Hibernate ORM jars 
loaded by the application classloader.

Also, keep in mind that In AS7, there was no JipiJapa project, so 
applications couldn't easily include the JipiJapa integration classes 
(point being that there were several blocking issues that prevented 
Hibernate 4.x jars from being in the deployment).  Of course, Hibernate 
3 jars were different as there is no Hibernate 3 static module in AS8 
(so applications could include Hibernate 3 jars).

There were some other ways of dealing with service loading mentioned on 
the "stinking donkey" thread [1] last year, but I'm not sure if any of 
the alternatives would help application deployments to include Hibernate 
ORM/Search/other jars.
