[keycloak-dev] Removing JaxrsBearerTokenFilter

[Marek Posolda]

I've just sent it to keycloak-user.

But question is, if keycloak-user mailing list is good place for such 
things? I think most people use keycloak-user mailing list to search for 
solutions to their particular problem or send their particular issue 
with Keycloak. But not sure how much people read this mailing list 
regularly? IMO we should instruct community to monitor to keycloak-dev 
mailing list for general announcements from Keycloak team (EG. release 
announcements, questionnaires, ask for removing/deprecating some 
component) as in keycloak-user informations can be easily lost.
