[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-1609) Allow static definition of the product module slot

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1609?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13256936#comment-13256936 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on WFCORE-1609:
------------------------------------------

A quick design note on this: instead of passing in the slot and still having ProductConfig read a module to get the necessary data, I could have put in a mechanism to just directly pass in the data. But I wanted to do the minimum quickly here, keep the overall mechanism as much like the standard one as possible and try to avoid bugs, confusion or unintended uses that arise from bigger differences. But the other approach can be considered in the future if it makes sense.

> The way a WildFly Core based distribution is able to control metadata such as the reported product name and version is by packaging an org.jboss.as.product:xxx module and then including a bin/product.conf file with a properties file that includes property slot=xxx. The ProductConfig class looks for bin/product.conf and reads it from the filesystem. 
> This does not work for WildFly Swarm, which is not based on an expanded filesystem. There is no bin/product.conf file, not even a bin dir.
> This RFE is to have ProductConfig allow the slot name to be directly passed in, skipping the property file reading, with SelfContainerContainer (used by swarm) passing in a static value of  "main". So swarm can package a org.jboss.as.product:main module and use it to control the product settings.
