[keycloak-dev] Example Setup to simplify the development of Keycloak Extensions

[Stian Thorgersen]

I'd say it would be better to target the real distribution rather than the
KeycloakServer. It should be reasonably easy to setup Arquillian to use the
Keycloak distribution from Maven Central and allow it to hot-deploy
extensions for testing purposes.
