I wonder if we should provide something like download with "generic" 
auth-server.war, which will be able to run on all servers like AS7, 
Tomcat or Jetty. It seems to me that having auth-server running on 
Tomcat or Jetty won't be so much headache. It may just be about bundling 
all required deps like resteasy, jackson etc in 
auth-server.war/WEB-INF/lib/ .

Having auth-server available on Tomcat or Jetty might be useful as we 
have adapters for them already, so people won't need to use separate 
Tomcat/Jetty server with  their apps and separate Wildfly/EAP6 with 
auth-server, but they can have everything on single server. It may be 
also useful for Fuse integration (it's still unclear to me how deep 
should be fuse integration and if keycloak integration/adapters is 
enabled just on demand or by default, but having possibility to have 
auth-server deployed in fuse might be helpful with the decision as then 
fuse won't require separate KC server running on WF or EAP)

Hopefully we will be able to have same auth-server.war running on AS7/ 
JEtty and Tomcat with all dependencies inside and without 
jboss-deployment-structure.xml (we already have some needed changes in 
jboss-deployment-structure.xml for AS7 - 
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Beta1/userguide/html/server-installation.html#as7-specifics 
. So having separate WAR without jboss-deployment-structure.xml may help 
to avoid this and have AS7 integration even simpler)
