[wildfly-dev] enhancement: layers.conf can use maven artifacts

[Bill Burke]

I was thinking about how installation, patching, and distribution could 
be made easier and more flexible.  What if layers.conf could reference a 
maven artifact?


layers=org.keycloak:keycloak-modules:1.5

The module layer of keycloak could be stored in a maven repo. 
Upgrading/patching could be just bump the version in layers.conf. If 
layers.conf also honored the list as a priority list, listed layers 
could override previously listed layers.

If module layer the module defs also reference their jars as maven 
artifacts, patches are really small as they are just module.xml files.
