Hi *, sorry, for bringing this up so late on this list. I discussed this on #hawkular but probably outside US office hours and I totally underestimated the amount of emotions some of us are tied by to -Pdev. There was a change by me recently that changed a little bit how -Pdev behaves. Originally, a -Pdev just produced a bundle in which the default configuration was changed to suit the dev use case: esp. one had jdoe loaded by invoking simply standalone.sh. As I worked on fixing the end to end tests in Hawkular, Lucas was fixing the REST tests in alerts. We both had the problem that the hawkular bundle that maven has downloaded from JBoss Nexus was build without -Pdev and as a consequence of that we could not run our integration tests by simply taking the bundle. We had to unzip the bundle, do what -Pdev does and only after that we could start it. Hence, as a solution, I have prepared https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular/pull/134 which caused that the stuff originally present only in bundles built with -Pdev became available by default, but to use that dev stuff, wildfly needs to be started with standalone.sh -c standalone-itest.xml because standalone-itest.xml is the place where the dev configuration is activated. With this change, there is only one way to build a hk bundle, hence there is only one bundle to distribute and download but you can do both dev and prod things with it. Not having jdoe/password by running the default config is a good thing from the security PoV. The bottom line is that -Pdev in the present master has one small issue that I fixed in https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular/pull/148 Please comment. Thanks, Peter
