JBoss EAP footprint too large after applying an update
Issue
- When we apply cumulative patches, installation size significantly increases.
- Is there a way to shrink the size of a patched EAP installation so that redundant files are cleaned up or removed?
- When applying a patch, the same software seems to be applied over and over again.
- How to get a version of EAP without leaving the old modules and libraries from prior updates?
Environment
