I know that this is probably too late for the BOF ... but the size of
little-G is more like 20MB at the moment. I doubt it will get much
smaller in time for G1.1

All,
My regrets for not being able to attend the Geronimo BOF at JavaOne.
I've asked Jeff Genender to talk about the upcoming 1.1 release as well
as some 1.2 items based on notes I've seen on the list. Please take a
look at these items and send additional comments to Jeff.
Here ya go Jeff....
Our target is to complete bug fixes and some other performance and
functional testing early this week. My personal target is May 26th but
it may be May 31st :(
We have added the following features:
Improved module design by improving module version tolerance. This
means that user plans will be less likely to be impacted by Geronimo
Version changes.
Added a statement cache to improve database performance to the TranQL
connector package.
Added plugin support to facilitate downloading and installation of
components for Geronimo. Currently some samples have been converted as
well as the Apache Directory component.
Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements.
Better SQL Generation for CMP entity beans.
New distributions of Geronimo that we call Little-G. Little-G is
approximately a 16MB download that is packaged with Tomcat or Jetty, a
transaction manager and some small number of components for a minimal
image.
Geronimo is certified as J2EE compliant for 1.4 running on JDK 1.4.2.
Geronimo will run on JDK 1.5 but is not fully J2EE compliant in this
mode of operation as CORBA will not function correctly.
Goals for the next release:
* Improved instrumentation for monitoring Geronimo
* Pluggable JAAC
* Internal changes to enable simplified modularity of the server for
customized deployments.
* Continued improvements for developing with Geronimo in Eclipse with
the Web Tools Project
* Expanded Documentation covering development, deployment as well as
monitoring and tuning.
* New persistence options for CMP performance.
* An optional GUI Installer to allow for a guided installation of Geronimo.
