The current Galleon versions should allow trimming quite a bit of boilerplate from all the places where we provision servers:

Alexey Loubyansky 5:07 PM
I did a bit more work on this, fixed a couple of issues and just released Galleon 4.2.1.Final and WFGP 4.2.1.Final
Alexey Loubyansky 5:07 PM
also opened a PR to upgrade WildFly Core to these releases https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/pull/4025
5:08 PM
upgrading doesn't affect anything, except the bug fixes contained in those versions
5:10 PM
however, for wildfly, i think we should use GAVs as feature-pack locations for feature-pack dependencies, in place of Galleon FPL
5:11 PM
the benefit would be to avoid the universe resolver in maven builds
5:11 PM
and also a simplified (mojo) provisioning config
Brian Stansberry 5:14 PM
good timing; I'm working on how to add a new f-p to wildfly (for microprofile stuff) so i should use best practices
Alexey Loubyansky 5:16 PM
by simplified provisioning config i mean that the selected block should be removed completely https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/build/pom.xml#L84-L97
5:16 PM
the only reason it is there is to avoid resolution from the universe
5:17 PM
with GAVs for dependencies, it won't be necessary anymore
Brian Stansberry 5:17 PM
what about <inheritConfigs>false</inheritConfigs> ?
Alexey Loubyansky 5:18 PM
that was there to workaround a bug which was fixed in 4.2.0.Final
Brian Stansberry 5:18 PM
how about
5:18 PM
<included-packages>
<name>docs.examples.configs</name>
</included-packages>
5:19 PM
assuming that's not in the top level f-p
Alexey Loubyansky 5:19 PM
that should definitely stay, it's not in the selected block
5:19 PM
ah, then you can have that
5:20 PM
then there would be a real reason to mention the transitive dependency
5:20 PM
i.e. you want something from it
Brian Stansberry 5:20 PM
could it be declared in the top level block, even though the package is in the transitive dep?
5:20 PM
i'm going off on tangents, but first i should have said...
5:21 PM
Nice!
Alexey Loubyansky 5:21 PM (EDITED)
unless the package is installed by default, it has to be included explicitly using transitive element
