At the moment I have identified two issues that will prevent us from
running in WildFly 8:

1. WildFly 8 changed the default web container from JBoss Web (based on
Tomcat) to Undertow. This shouldn't mean much changes in the
application, as we don't use Tomcat specific APIs. But in means changes
in the XML configuration that we use, including changes in how we
configure connectors.

2. WildFly 8 comes with a new version of Resteasy, and we do use some
Resteasy specific APIs. We will need minor changes in this area.

These two aren't huge issues, but I think it isn't worth going deeper
before there is a release of WildFly 8.

Anyhow, one can always use JBoss AS 7 or EAP in Fedora 20, it is a
matter of uncompressing the JBoss .zip in some directory and setting
JBOSS_HOME=/that/directory in the engine configuration.
