As for where it should be placed ASF-wise, I am thinking that it
would be best to place it as part of Geronimo initially, because it
is a good thing to have a concrete project [the appserver] to drive
the requirements. Also, the featureset required to do Java EE is
somewhat less than the full CORBA spec (for instance, we have no
interface/implementation repository, and no IDL compiler).
Let me start by thanking you for wanting to contribute code to the
project. This is awesome.
Relative to the statement above, is there a reason you want the ORB
directly in the Geronimo project? I can see this orb being an
important project in its own right and can have many uses beyond
Geronimo. If not as its own ASF project, dare I say the possibility
of a sub-project <flame suit on ;-)>? I really think an orb is big
enough, and important enough to be its own living/breathing project.
Thoughts?
I think that we should get something working and see what the community
interest is before we start planning on if it will be a sub-project or a
top-level-project.
