1) In the 1.0 branch I noticed that an installer installation has
geronimo/repository/geronimo/cars directory (containing approx 42
MB of car files) but the tomcat & jetty assemblies don't have the
car directory. Is this intended?
When are car files in the repository used?
I think this is an artifact of the way the installer is working right
now, namely including a repo inside it and copying everything into
the server under construction, whether or not it is used. I want it
to install only the stuff you select.
2) I also noticed that in the installer installation using the
default options, the following files (that are installed for the
jetty/tomcat assemblies) are not installed:
geronimo/repository/jars/geronimo-javamail-transport-1.0.1-
SNAPSHOT.jar
geronimo/repository/jars/geronimo-mail-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
What happens if the user initially does not select SMTP transport
(the default) in the installer and then after installation changes
their mind? How are we expecting the user to get it installed?
Due to my theory about (1), I think that these are simply left out of
the installers internal repo and so the mail config may not work. As
noted in (1) in my opinion these should get copied into the server
under construction only if you select the mail configuration for
installation.
