If the plan is to eventually integrate APM into Hawkular Services (not
as an option) then I'd go with option 1 and then eventually the profile
would go away. I think an add-on UI war would maybe be an optional
'Lab' offering, there is no UI with which to integrate. The standalone
APM offering could still be offered. I'm not sure whether that would
still be offered as a top-level menu item on hawkular.org, or also as a
'Lab'.

Hi
Hawkular APM is currently built as a separate distribution independent from other
Hawkular components. However in the near future we will want to explore integration with
other components, such as Alerts, Metrics and Inventory.
Therefore I wanted to explore the options we have for building an integrated environment,
to provide the basis for such integration work, without impacting the more immediate plans
for Hawkular Services.
The two possible approaches are:
1) Provide a maven profile as part of the Hawkular Services build, that will include the
APM server. The UI could be deployed separately as a war, or possibly integrated into the
UI build?
2) As suggested by Juca, the APM distribution could be built upon the hawkular-services
distribution.
There are pros/cons with both approaches:
My preference is option (1) as it moves us closer to a fully integrated hawkular-services
solution, but relies on a separate build using the profile (not sure if that would result
in a separate release distribution).
Option 2 would provide the full distribution as a release, but the downside is the size
of the distribution (and its dependencies, such as cassandra), when user only interested
in APM. Unclear whether a standalone APM distribution will still be required in the future
- at present the website is structured to support this.
Thoughts?

Gary
