Hi Bryan,
I don't think there is a canonical resource at the moment.
I'm assuming you have a catalog.xml file and that it contains an element
like:
<classpath scan="annotations">
<entry>url</entry>
...
</classpath>
Brooklyn should scan the URLs listed for classes annotated @Catalog.
They should appear in the web console on the catalogue page.
Unintuitively, the best way to get Brooklyn to include bundled entities
in the catalogue is to start it with an empty classpath element. If you
do this and view the catalogue page in the web console you should see
Brooklyn's standard entities and policies listed. If you would like to
obtain this catalogue in a format suitable for a catalog.xml file you
can run this snippet of code in the Groovy scripting portion of the web
console:
import brooklyn.catalog.internal.BasicBrooklynCatalog
((BasicBrooklynCatalog) mgmt.catalog).toXmlString()
The output should look like this:
<catalog>
<contentsDescription>scanning-local-classpath</contentsDescription>
<name>Local Scanned Catalog</name>
<description>All annotated Brooklyn entities detected in the
default classpath</description>
<classpath scan="ANNOTATIONS"/>
<entity id="brooklyn.entity.nosql.redis.RedisStore" name="Redis
Server">
...
You can then merge the entities and policies with your existing
catalog.xml file.
There is also a list of entities, policies and enrichers available at
https://brooklyn.incubator.apache.org/learnmore/catalog/, albeit not in
a format suitable for a catalog.xml file.
It has been noted in Jira that we should improve this part of Brooklyn:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-58.

Does anyone have a larger catalog.xml that could be shared with the community
based on available entities, etc.?
