Installed eclipse 3.2, installed JST (J2EE Standard Tools and its
dependencies), pointed it to an existing geronimo installation and
created a J2EE project. I haven't had the time to read eclipse
tutorials on using the JST, so didn't build anything.
Have you thought about using a tool like wink (
http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ ) to do a walkthrough of the
functionality to help get users started? I think it could really help
get more users/developers interested and spread your knowledge :-).
IMHO we should at least have a draft of the release notes when voting
for a release and should be testing pretty much what our users will
see. AFAIK, there isn't any user documentation we can look at for this
release at the moment.
I looked at the release notes for the previous release (
http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/PLUGIN_RELEASE-NOTES-1.0.0.txt
) and have the following comments if it is to be used as the basis for
this release:
* should mention JST is required. I tried just using WST and it didn't
work.
* describe what has changed other than the 8 bug fixes listed in JIRA
for this release
* describe what doesn't work completely - there was some mention of
things not completely implemented earlier in this thread
* mention help for dialogs during project creation isn't done
* limit line length in file to 80 chars for easy reading
FYI just in case others run into problems updating eclipse 3.2 with WST
etc, I wasted a bit of time when I hit a bug with the eclipse update
processing when downloading from a local mirror. Added to comments to
issue https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=148886 . Trying
the update with the main eclipse mirror site worked ok.
Regards,
John

Sachin,
All the license/notices look good. I created/started a server;
created, deployed and tested a jsp. Looks good to me. Nice work!
Here's my non-binding +1.
