Thanks for a great 2024!

We are almost at the end of 2024 and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank all our community members for their help on WildFly this year. 2024 was a busy year for WildFly and a lot was accomplished.

Using the maven-wildfly-plugin to provision the WildFly to use the PostgreSQL datasource.

Recently I needed to configure a WildFly server to use a PostgreSQL datasource for some testings, and I’d like to use the`wildfly-maven-plugin` to automate the server provision process, so I invested some time into the topic and finally made it work.

Beginning with the WildFly 35 release, the minimum Java SE version for a WildFly server will be SE 17. We have now executed on this plan by updating the WildFly 'main' branch to build SE 17 binaries.
