When starting Arquillian tests, the WildFly Arquillian part reads the whole EAR into a byte-array before sending it to the server for deployment. And even after the deployment was done, this memory seems to stay blocked.

We do not use a minimal deployment with just the test-relevant classes, but the full EAR just with the tests added in, to have a more production-like environment for the tests.

This means the whole big EAR is read into a byte-array and then regularly busts the max-heap.

It would be nice if this could be done instead in some streamed way instead of reading the full deployment to the heap of the test worker process.
