[keycloak-dev] isolate picketlink dependency please

[Marek Posolda]

Mongo model is using just some helper reflection classes from 
org.picketlink.common. It should be easy to fork some functionality and 
completely remove dependency on org.picketlink.common from mongo model.

However picketlink is also used for Ldap integration and here it's more 
complicated...

So what exactly is the requirement for picketlink integration? Am I 
understand correctly that all picketlink dependencies must be removed 
from auth-server.war/WEB-INF/lib/ and added as deps to 
auth-server.war/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml instead?

If I understand correctly, this means that Keycloak must use same 
Picketlink version, which is bundled with EAP. Do you know what is our 
target EAP version and which version of Picketlink is in it?

Today I've upgraded Keycloak to newly released Picketlink 2.6.0.CR2, 
which contains some nice LDAP improvements and fixes (like support for 
RHDS and connection pooling). So it seems that I will need to revert 
this and use some older picketlink version bundled in EAP instead:-(
