Within my company, we have created a JBoss Modules package (ZIP) that contains some extra modules that we use per default on our JBoss instances. We've been using this for a few years now.
Rationale: While the vanilla wants to stress on how small WildFly/EAP is in megabytes because cloud, serverless, whatever other bullshit-look-how-cool-I-am nonsense, the real world turns otherwise: we want an application server that comes with common sense dependencies already bundled with it. Hence we want a fat application server so our apps can remain as lightweight as possible.
This package already bundles the following:
Module com.mysql
MySQL version: 5.1.49
Module org.apache.commons.net
Commons Net version: 3.8.0
Module org.springframework.spring
Spring version: 5.2.19.RELEASE
Module org.mariadb
MariaDB Client version: 3.0.3
If there is some interest in creating such a common JBoss EAP modules package, please make some noise here...
The idea would be to add a Maven project as part of eap-build that delivers this ZIP package. @hasalex What do you think?
