[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-1807) Add support for rebranding jars

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1807?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12630504#comment-12630504 ] 

Julian Coleman commented on AS7-1807:
-------------------------------------

For SOA-P and BRMS-P we would also want to customise the same parts as EAP.  Having
the replacable parts as a separate build artifact (or more than one) would be very
useful here.  AS7 would supply a default, and the platforms would provide customised
versions.

However, we will also include additional components (e.g. SwitchYard and Drools).
If we need to modify existing configuration files because of the extra components,
it would be good to split those configuration files into separate build artifacts
too.  These could be looked at individually as they arise though.

> In order to make it easier for multiple products (EAP/SOA-P/etc) to consume the same common AS source code, we need to implement a plugability mechanism that allows version numbers, branding skins/themes, logos, etc to be easily replaced (preferably using a single jar).
> The mechanism would involve supplying some kind of an argument to the bootstrap. For example:
> java -jar \"$JBOSS_HOME/jboss-modules.jar\" \
>        <snip>
>        org.jboss.as.standalone
>        -Djboss.brand.module=org.jboss.as.project-brand
> We would then provide some API to get the module so that it can be used to launch services and/or perform resource loading.
