Ok, makes sense to have the "empty" security context tag then. Seems like a
simple and non-intrusive change.

What's the use-case for hawtio on EAP if not for Fuse?
By Hawtio on Fuse, I meant Hawtio deployed on JBoss Fuse ( karaf + jetty).
Where Hawtio on EAP is just hawtio war deployed on EAP.
AFAIK both usecases (Hawtio on JBoss Fuse and Hawtio on EAP) is what we
want to support for "Fuse adapter" ?
With Hawtio on EAP you need to change some settings in the war to add our
login module right? So not sure why it would be an issue to add
jboss-deployment-structure.xml at the same time?
Nope, I don't change anything inside the WAR. And I want to keep it like
that. I suppose that require people to change stuff directly inside the
hawtio.war is not something we want to do? Otherwise I would just add
jboss-deployment-structure.xml and I wouldn't start this thread :-)
The JAAS configuration is in standalone.xml and hawtio is able to read it.
It's just not able to find the keycloak classes. So really the only thing I
need is a way for hawtio to find the classes. So a way for our subsystem to
just add dependencies, but not add the deployment configuration (as I don't
need it).
