[keycloak-dev] removing resteasy from adapter requires:

[Bill Burke]

removing resteasy dependencies from adapter dependencies requires:

* Forking and gutting JOSE-JWT module so we can have JSON web signatures 
(and maybe JWE later too)
* Forking UriBuilder.  There's a lot of functionality there that will 
make our code easier.
* Forking some of UriInfo as again, a lot of helper methods there that 
will make our coding easier.
* Relying on Apache Http Client APIs compatible with 4.1.2.  This 
version is compatible with the version that comes in both AS7 and EAP 
and Wildfly.  Wildfly may upgrade to 4.3 and I don't know if this 
version maintains backward compatibility with 4.1.2.  I just don't think 
using java.net.URL for client HTTP is very feasible and I distinctly 
remember having problems with connection caching and things like that.

I thought about using the Resteasy client that comes with AS7, EAP, 
Wildfly, but I'm worried that users may upgrade Resteasy to an 
incompatible version.

I'm also still going to use Jackson 1.9.x.  Jackson 2.x uses an entirely 
different package name so we're safe relying on it.
