[wildfly-dev] Trimming the fat of the build & testsuite

[Tomaž Cerar]

Hey guys,


As initial work on trimming our IO usage by testsuite and build,
I've send https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/pull/2880
which changes wildfly-core to never produce "inflated" build/distro with
jars present.
But rather uses thin server provisioning (module.xml entries point to maven
GAV)

As part of this work, "dist" folder is now used for just that, for
distribution and noting else.
So unless build is invoked with -Drelease which is something that is done
as part of release process, "dist" folder will be empty and wont produce
anything.

Sever for testing is still present in "build" directory as it always was.

This was done to reduce unnecessary IO work and producing multiple server
builds without need for them.

I am sending this mail mostly as FYI that further work on this is going to
happen, in core and in full, and such changes might clash with some
poeple's workflows, where they are used to expect server dist to be in
"dist" folder but it is not there yet.
