Hi guys,

there have been lots of questions about end results of new build, mostly all related to missing "jar" files in build distribution.

New build plugin now enables us to produce "slim" distribution of WildFly which does not include jar files in module directory
but rather user jboss-modules feature to load resources from maven.

This slim/full distribution can be controlled in server-build.xml, which is config file for build plugin, by copy-module-artifacts flag.

By default in current build we have different settings for different modules / builds

by directories:

- build - produces slim distribution of whole server, which is used for integration testing

- web-build - produces "web" slim distribution

- dist - produces full inflated distribution with all jars in modules

and in wildfly-core, we have

- core-build - which produces inflated distribution, but will be switched back to slim after MODULES-194 is fixed

So in short, if you need full distribution with all jars or slim distro doesn't work for you (WFLY-3596)
either use build that you can find in "dist/target" or change config flag (just don't commit it back)

Also in similar spirit if you need zip/tar.gz distribution, then just run build with -Drelease
and you will get zip/tar.gz in dist/target
