I think the issue (at least as I’ve found it) is that we either:

a) scrub around in existing feature-packs and modules/ directory to determine if there’s a module.xml matching the thing and version we need or

b) hand-author a module.xml based upon pom.xml, adding a chance to mess things up.

It's not exactly clear to me what issue you are describing. But I can provide some basic info on how feature-packs are authored for the wildfly releases (core, servlet, full). Perhaps then you could ask a more specific question.

A feature-pack represents a specific release. So there will be a feature-pack for the core, another one for the servlet distribution and another one for the full one. In feature-packs, modules are organized into packages (which is an atomic unit of content possibly with dependencies on other packages from the same or another feature-pack).
When a feature-pack is generated, the packages are generated from the modules. Each module becomes are package in a feature-pack. And module dependencies become package dependencies. Is it any close to the issue you described?

Interesting.

It brings up a discussion point I have been meaning to raise across the Wildfly and Wildfly-Swarm teams regarding tools for the step before this assembly step of feature-packs and fractions into a distributable archive.

The issue I have seen is that when authoring a feature-pack or fraction, it is difficult to know how to configure the module dependencies. One is often starting with GAV dependencies from a spec, and it is difficult to know how those map onto modules in existing feature-packs for fractions. Do we have any tooling in this area to make this task not a trial and error effort?

Hi,

For those who can take 7'26 of their time to look at what we can do with the new provisioning tool to build and share custom feature packs.
