@see https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RELOADED-10 In the last design call I noted one approach to building slimmer runtimes was to take Carlo's notion of Reloaded, but instead of taking from the AS configs get things as trim as possible and only bring up what's needed for VDF/MainDeployer. Ales was kind enough to point me to some precanned stuff already used in the jboss-deployers testsuite, so I stole a bunch of that and coupled it with jboss-bootstrap-impl-mc. The basic test is able to install a new Deployer to the chain and ensure it's used when a new Deployment is deployed via MainDeployer. Takes about 1.9 seconds on my machine from JVM start to shutdown. http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/reloaded/trunk/vdf-bootst... I think the next steps are as we've already discussed: 1) Make this into an extensible component which can be reused/extended/composed 2) Bring up ProfileService in another extension Thoughts?
