[keycloak-dev] distribution of adapters

[Marek Posolda]

I think I agree with Bolek that many separate adapter repos and releases 
is unecessary overhead. Especially if we're going to have even more 
adapter types than we have now...

I can understand for non-maven non-java project, but why have separate 
adapter repo and releases for jetty, tomcat, eap etc? Only advantage is 
possibility to do separate release in case of adapter bug, but not sure 
if it would help much, because there is lot of common code in "core" and 
"adapter-core" . And:

* in case of blocker bug in "core", you need to release whole keycloak 
anyway as this code is shared for both server and adapters
* in case of blocker bug in "adapter-core", you need to release all java 
adapters anyway.
