[GSS](7.4.z) WFCORE-6038 - The org.wildfly.core:wildfly-cli:client artifact has unneeded dependencies

It has been reported jars transitively reachable from wildfly-cli are not contained within the maven repo:

Transitive dependencies from "wildfly-cli" the following three could not be resolved:

>Could not find org.wildfly.security:wildfly-elytron-http-oidc:1.15.9.Final-redhat-00001. > Could not find org.wildfly.security:wildfly-elytron-jose-jwk:1.15.9.Final-redhat-00001. > Could not find org.wildfly.security:wildfly-elytron-jose-util:1.15.9.Final-redhat-00001.

bmaxwell Update 2022-08-25:

Clarification of the use case , issue and proposed solution.

Use case: standalone application that will use the Java Management API, as per [0] you would use the jboss-cli-client.jar on your classpath.

Issue: the maven dependency org.wildfly.core:wildfly-cli contains [1] & [2] which is the private module jar used in EAP and the jboss-cli-client.jar. Users should not be using the wildfly-cli.jar and if you use wildfly-cli-client.jar (jboss-cli-client.jar) it is self sufficient, it has no dependencies.

Proposed Solution: Move wildfly-cli-client.jar to org.jboss.eap:wildfly-cli-client this would:

• separate the wildfly-cli & wildfly-cli-client (jboss-cli-client) jars
• allow wildfly-cli-client to stand by itself, ie it has no dependencies, so depending on it would not try to pull down transitive dependencies that are not required
• being under org.jboss.eap makes more sense, because this is where jboss-client.jar is located in org.jboss.eap:wildfly-client-all
• being under org.jboss.eap , would also have it versioned with the EAP version such as 7.4.6 , which makes more sense when a CP is released, you can just update the version to this, as opposed to where it is now, it is versioned with the WF Core version (and WF Core is a sub component effectively of EAP and not a version that the user should have to keep track of)
