Looking closer at it, it might be possible to override the configuration
of this class by specifying an explicit value for this supportedDialects
field.

Looking at
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/dashboard-builder/blob/master/modules/dashboard-commons/src/main/java/org/jboss/dashboard/annotation/config/ConfigReader.java

you might be able to create a config file
META-INF/org.jboss.dashboard.database.hibernate.HibernateInitializer.config

with value:

supportedDialects=firebird 1.55li=org.hibernate.dialect.FirebirdDialect

or maybe include PostgreSQL as well:
supportedDialects=firebird
1.55li=org.hibernate.dialect.FirebirdDialect,postgres=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect

I am however not sure how this configuration works exactly, so I might
be wrong; I haven't tried it.

The code also suggests there is some global config where you would use
org.jboss.dashboard.database.hibernate.HibernateInitializer.supportedDialects=...
instead.
