What was it about

• Meeting of the Wildfly AS / EAP core team (hope everyone knows what AS / EAP is).
• We try to do these once a year at least.
• Had 60% of the core team, 40% participating remotely.  
• ~45 people working on core & 30+ subsystems .
• Mainly development, design discussions for WF 9/10+ & few presentations.

Main focus

• New security subsytem - Elytron (replacing picket* frameworks), various integration sessions - profound impact across the codebase.
• Domain management:
  • patching in domain,
  • build split / provisionining,
  • layering.

Wildfly codebase split

• JBoss Modules developed since AS6/AS7 to enable private / public API & classloading separation for each module.
• Working with MSC to orchestrate service lifecycle.
• A lot of inter-dependencies between modules.
  • Not so easy to cleanly divide.
• Plan to divide to Core, Undertow, EE, Arquilian, Clustering feature packs.

Wildfly Core

• A separate project for some time.
• Generic framework without any Java EE support.
• Only MSC, Modules, Domain,  Management, CLI.
• You can use it as a basis of your JVM based platform.

Next steps

• Fix layering:
  • Feature pack & assembly tool.
• Make the distribution modular on shippment level
  • Core + Undertow,
  • Core + Undertow + EE,
  • Core + Undertow + EE + Arquilian,
  • Core + Undertow + EE + Arquilian + Clustering,
  • You get the idea...
