should we update it or get rid of it?

Genesis Overview
Genesis is a simple project that contains modules that help in the
creation of other projects. It is nothing fancy, just a collection of
modules to provide shared/common configuration and a place to put
G-related plugins.
The idea is to keep all of the common bits in one place, so that we can
easily reuse that configuration across projects.
Currently there are 2 trees: config and plugins
The config tree contains modules which provide the shared/common
configuration, and plugins provide support modules (like plugin-
support) and custom plugins.
config/checkstyle-config
This module contains the Checkstyle configuration, taken from etc/
geronimo_checks.xml. It is installed as a build extension, so that its
contents are available to be loaded as resources. This allows the
Checkstyle plugin to be configure with just this (no need to use ../../
which won't work when building with Continuum, or to duplicate the
config in each module):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<!-- Pulled as resource from checkstyle-config plugin -->
<configLocation>org/apache/geronimo/checkstyle.xml</ configLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
While it is possible to use a URL for this configuration, to keep the
build in sync with the SVN repo I do not recommend using remote
resources whenever possible.
config/logging-config
This provides the common log4j.properties used by all modules when
running tests. This is a normal dependency, included in the test scope.
The key thing that this provides is that all tests will create a
${basedir}/target/test.log file that has the full logging detail for
surefire tests.
IMO tests by default should produce no output so that it is easy for
folks to see what is passing and what is failing on the build console.
For failure details, the log file + surefire reports can be used.
We can also add a few properties to control the default level that goes
to console for easy development, but I have yet to implement that.
There is no need to add per-module log4j.properties configuration files
anymore.
config/project-config
This module contains the common m2 build configuration that most every
G-related project needs to produce builds, generate sites, run tests, etc.
This is the /parent/ of each projects /root/ pom.
Have a look yourself, but it basically sets up the default mailing
lists, issue tracking, etc.
Here you will find where the other config modules are included into the
build.
Also, this is where plugin versions are controlled, so that we don't run
into problems in the future when plugin vendors release new versions
that are incompatible with the build configuration that is checked in to
SVN. This is key to support building projects that are pulled from older
branches.
plugins/plugin-support
This is a jar module, that contains common code that our plugins use.
Right now that is simply MojoSupport, which handles setting up logging
and provides exception handling at the root so that extensions do not
need to worry about that.
As we add more plugins expect more commonly used code to move here.
