For Hawkular, we were in the need of a simplified way for a REST client 
to communicate with our backend. After discussing this with Stian, we 
started the "secret-store" module, which was just spun off of Hawkular 
into a "standalone" project.

Secret Store is a module for scenarios where the whole OAuth procedure 
might be undesirable or not feasible on the client side.

The Secret Store has two sides:

1) a REST endpoint to create opaque tokens backed by OAuth Offline 
Tokens composed of a key and secret;

2) An Undertow filter/Proxy server, that translates the opaque tokens 
into OAuth bearer tokens, rewriting the incoming request. To your 
backend, it's transparent whether an opaque token or a proper OAuth 
token was used.
