Description

At the moment it's a bit of a PITA to build Keycloak, especially following the instructions in https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/main/docs/building.md.

I'm also having constant issues with InteliJ and weird build errors there. Not sure if that's a common thing, but seems all the magic stuff around the new store, javascript adapters, npm modules, etc. are all a bit of a PITA?

Some issues with it:

• mvn clean install builds and runs the testsuite, which takes an enormous amount of time
• Asking people to add nexus to their POMs is just annoying like hell

There's also some issues with missing dependencies especially around the testsuite not having dependencies on the distribution.

A couple things here that will help:

• Getting rid of WildFly distribution will allow us to clean up a lot
• Getting rid of old examples
• Making the testsuite something that has to be explicitly built/execute rather than part of the default build
• Cleanup of modules, and making sure there are dependencies between modules when needed
• Splitting the server and adapters into separate things
