Do we need this type of detail about the JVM in an administrative
portlet (see the JVM portlet under Server)? This seems to be a bit
over the top. IMO this is especially true when listing the details on
the OS, Sun (will this even work if we're not using the sun?) User,
and Etc sections.
I think this is all really useful data for us and possibly even for
people building a server from the components of Geronimo. However,
for the average user that is just going to pick up Geronimo, do some
minor configuration, and deploy applications this seems a bit
overwhelming. Also, it has been my experience that more extraneous
information is not always a "good thing to have which can easily be
ignored". Some users look at this and decide that the server is too
complicated for their needs. Perhaps it would be better to reference
this information during initialization and save it off to a file for
reference when debugging a problem.
Thoughts?
I don't see how it could hurt, even for unsophisticated users. It's not
like we're making them go to that page, right?
