| It seems like we keep going in circles about "feature pack". I initially thought - and I think the name suggests it - that people can use a "feature pack" to add a new feature to the container. But the WildFly team means a different thing with it: a feature pack is something to be added to WildFly ad build time , i.e. it requires to rebuild the application server from sources to include it. We do want to make it easier for people to use a different version of Hibernate Search, for example to use our latest releases without having to wait for the next generation WildFly is released, but it seems the "feature pack" notion is not useful for this purpose, so we release a zip file which actually is able to "layer" on top of latest WildFly:
Unless the definition of "feature pack" evolved further, I don't see why we should make a feature pack in that strict sense, as Hibernate Search is already included during build time. I'd be happy to evolve this further if WildFly Swarm requires us to make changes, but we'd need the WildFly team to give some hints about this. |
