This is the closest we have today.

I think it relies on outdated snapshots, so it probably doesn't work
anymore on clean machines.
Combine (or replace) it with a package manager.
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1942
Make sure we can bootstrap a (proper) dependency manager.
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1744
And you should end up with a distro which is measured in KB, not MB.
$ java -jar jboss-reloaded.jar -Dorg=org.jboss.resteasy
-Dmodule=resteasy-reloaded -Drev=latest.integration
You'll probably whine a boot on the first boottime, but alas... ;-)

BTW, I got this idea when I was doing testing with RESTEasy against
AS 6
trunk. My thought was, "wouldn't it be cool if AS just loaded RESTEasy
from my local maven repository so that I didn't have to manually copy to
or rebuild the AS distribution?" I guess what I'm saying is that it
would help make us more productive too.
Also, from a product standpoint, it would be very easy for us to define
and ship different profiles. A profile would be so small, it could
easily be archived and distributed through a maven repository. Could
easily be sent across the wire for support engineers to look at, etc.
