Since the WildFly 13 release when we began producing the official WildFly distributions using Galleon, we've continued as well to produce the old 'legacy feature packs' that use pre-Galleon technology. We did this because there were some projects that still used them for provisioning servers based on the WildFly technology stack. But I believe those cases are gone now, and in any case after three years IMHO it's time for those kinds of things to move on.
Producing the legacy feature packs is a fair amount of work and is starting to interfere with how we'd best organize the code for production of the Galleon feature packs. So I'd like for WildFly 24 to be the last release where we produce them.
Inputs on this are welcome.
The maven GAs of the artifacts I'm talking about are:
org.wildfly.core:wildfly-core-feature-pack
org.wildfly:wildfly-servlet-feature-pack
org.wildfly:wildfly-feature-pack
The source code for the FPs are mostly at the following locations, although there is related code (e.g. "subsystem-template" dirs) scattered throughout the code base.
Best regards,
Brian
