Currently the only RESt framework supported by the extension is RestEasy, but if for example you are using Apache TomEE you would like to run your client tests with Apache CXF (so no more dependencies are downloaded). I think that would be amazing to split the project so you can provide your implementation of client to be used. Something like arquillian recorder that you can implement your own screenshot shooter or videorecorder.
