[wildfly-dev] Customizing a provisioned server

[Stuart Douglas]

I thought that it was already possible to use the CLI in library mode?

The tool will have access to a full server at the point it needs to do 
this (as the server has already been provisioned), so it could 
potentially just load the CLI lib from the provisioned server and use that.
