• Standard - Just run following maven goal on project.

mvn wildfly-swarm:run

• Custom - Add an Application class to programmatically invoke and deploy containers.

Swarm swarm = new Swarm();
swarm.start();

JAXRSArchive deployment = ShrinkWrap.create(JAXRSArchive.class);
deployment.addClass(HelloWorldResource.class);
swarm.deploy(deployment);

Note : Here we are using ShrinkWrap API to programmatically create deployable archive on runtime.
