[keycloak-dev] jarless Keycloak distro

[Marek Posolda]

Thanks for the tip!

I see the benefit just during development. Or is it some other?

Usually when I do changes in Keycloak sources in some module (eg. in 
keycloak-model-jpa module) I need to:

1) Build the module with "mvn clean install"
2) Copy the keycloak-model-jpa.jar to the modules in my Wildfly server. 
Or rebuild whole distro.
3) Restart the Wildfly

With this, you don't need step 2.

Still embedded undertow is best as you don't even need step 1 when 
running KeycloakServer from Idea ;) And for UI only changes, even server 
restart is not needed with embedded undertow and -Dresources option.
