Deploying a Microprofile JWT web app fails to a bootable hollow jar

[ralfbat...@gmail.com]

Dear experts

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

The bootable hollow jar is created with <layer>microprofile-platform</layer>.

The log shows activating the the sub system as expected WFLYJWT0001: Activating MicroProfile JWT Subsystem

But for some reasons, deploying the war app via cli commend fails with 

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/microprofile/jwt/JsonWebToken

The Microprofile JWT API is not exposed, and I am lost to identify the root cause.

I can't attach the log file but here are the relevant logs:

Any hint what I do wrong are very appreciated.
