[keycloak-user] Java Keycloak REST API Wrapper

[Rodrigo Sasaki]

I have a thought, let me know if you think it's valid.

the worst thing I see on this approach is having to send the username on
every request, like this:

keycloak.userService().grantRoles(username, roles);
keycloak.userService().logoutFromAllSessions(username);

What if there was a specific class for when you want to manipulate a
specific user, like this:

UserSomething user = keycloak.user(username);
user.grantRoles(roles);
user.logoutFromAllSessions();

And maybe the first one could be called as keycloak.users() and the latter
as keycloak.user(username).
Or it could be better to keep it as userSerivce, I'm not really sure what
would be semantically better.

Any thoughts?
