Eduardo Martins commented on WFBUILD-4:
---------------------------------------

Here is an idea to support multiple versions of same artefacts:

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<feature-pack xmlns="urn:wildfly:feature-pack:1.0">
    <dependencies>
        <artifact name="org.wildfly:kickass-feature-pack" />
    </dependencies>
    <artifact-resolver>
        <maven-artifact name="io.undertow:undertow-core:1.x" groupId="io.undertow" artifactId="undertow-core" version="1.1.0.Beta7"/>
        <maven-artifact name="io.undertow:undertow-core:2.x" groupId="io.undertow" artifactId="undertow-core" version="2.0.0.Alpha1"/>
        <url-artifact name="org.jboss.modules:jboss-modules" url="http://blablabla/my-jboss-modules.jar"/>        
        <url-artifact name="org.wildfly:kickass-feature-pack" url="http://wildfly.org/feature-packs/kickass.zip"/>        
    </artifact-resolver>
    <copy-artifacts>
        <copy-artifact artifact="org.jboss.modules:jboss-modules" to-location="jboss-modules.jar"/>
    </copy-artifacts>    
</feature-pack>
{code}

This is actually a small change compared to what we have now internally for feature packs, simply expose to wildfly-feature-pack.xml, the artifact reference name that is in module.xml (property name), other elements of the feature-pack xml such as the copy-artifact, or the ones computed from maven dependencies that are used as keys in the maven artifact resolver. The maven artifact version becomes just one more id, and we can even introduce - later - different type of artifacts, such as the url-artifact above.

What do you think?

> e.g. it should be possible to assemble a server with a newer version of Weld or Resteasy that what was provided in the feature pack.
