The wildfly-maven-plugin provisioning goal can be configured to use channel manifests by setting the wildfly.channels system property. Similar functionality would be useful in the wildfly-jar-maven-plugin.

See https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFMP-225 ticket for the wildfly-maven-plugin implementation.

This is relevant for XP5, to make it easier to run integration testsuite against installations provisioned from external manifests.
