[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-3660) allow easy creation of executable war

[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3660?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12998657#comment-12998657 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on WFLY-3660:
--------------------------------------

If this used the provisioning library then we could just package that in the war, and use it to provision a full server in the temp directory. It would mean the components would be downloaded from a maven repo instead of packaged in the war (although once we support 'fat' feature packs we could potentially bundle everything).

> Other popular Servlet Containers and Application Servers support the building of an executable war bundle, via Apache Maven. This will allow you to easily bundle your WAR/EAR into an executable war which will unpack and launch the WAR/EAR, via java -jar myapp.war.
