[Hawkular-dev] Feature packs - a new way of packaging for WildFly

Hi *, Some of you might have heart of the $subj already. For others: wf feature packs are lightweight recipes for building fat WF distros. wildfly-feature-pack-build-maven-plugin typically produces a zip containing some xml config but no jars/wars/ears. wildfly-server-provisioning-maven-plugin is there to take the recipes and make fat distros out of them. Why I am bringing this topic: It seems that feature packs could help us to consolidate all our modules, itest distros and final distros in such a way that configuration will not be duplicated anymore. I hope to be able to do this together with the upgrade to WF10. There is not much docs about the two plugins except for this terse wiki page: https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/WildflyBuildProcess Nevertheless, examples can be found in wildfly and wildfly-core source trees. We started producing a feature pack in Agent recently: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-agent/tree/master/hawkular-wildfly-a... Thanks, Peter
