Currently WildFly includes 3 JBoss Modules modules that are not used in our runtime. I would like to remove these in WildFly 17:

org.apache.commons.cli
org.apache.commons.lang[1]
org.apache.commons.lang3

All three have the "jboss.api" = "private" property set in their module.xml, meaning they are marked for internal use only and we are free to remove them. End user applications should not have referenced these modules, and if they do we log a WARN on boot advising not to do that.

However, other projects that extend WildFly (i.e. write their own subsystems) may be using these modules, so I wanted to notify any such folks that these will likely be going away and you'll need to provide these yourselves.ed.

Best regards,
Brian

[1] This one is referenced in a commented out module.xml section related to My Faces 1.1 support. I've checked with Farah Juma and that is no longer relevant and the comment can be removed.
