I've just tried the exploded WAR approach, but had some issues. What I 
did with keycloak appliance was:
- Change the WAR file in 
modules/system/layers/base/org/keycloak/keycloak-subsystem/main/auth-server/keycloak-server-1.1.0.Final-SNAPSHOT.war 
to be exploded
- Change the configuration property "auth-server-exploded" to true in 
modules/system/layers/base/org/keycloak/keycloak-subsystem/main/module.xml

With this auth-server didn't bootstrap for me at startup. Once I added 
provider to exploded WAR and pack it back to be file instead of 
directory, it started to work and my provider is found.

So in shortcut, adding provider in offline mode works, but I needed to: 
unpack, copy provider JAR, pack it back.

Did I something wrong to have exploded WAR working? Also can subsystem 
work with having exploded WAR by default? In this case it will be easy 
to add provider in offline mode as people can just copy them to unpacked 
location inside keycloak subsystem .

Sorry if you already discuss this possibility, I may miss some details 
in previous discussion related to this;-)
