Currently the old TGP has got out of date and doesn't
work with any current releases of Geronimo or Tuscany so the first
thing to
do is to get a basic plugin going again and then gradually add
functionality
to it so it does things like:
- adds all Tuscany jars and their dependencys into Geronimo
- supports existing Tuscany webapps without needing to include any
Tuscany
jars or dependencys in the lib directory
- supports simple jar contributions into a Tuscany standalone node
- supports Tuscany using Geronimo infrastructure for things such as
HTTP and
JMS hosts
- supports for SCA enabled JEE application local assembly
- supports SCA wiring across JEE applications and modules
All excellent goals. Additionally I would like to see how trimmed
and lean we can make this platform. Can we make it the smallest
footprint, quickest bringup SCA runtime out there?

Thanks, Dan Becker
Sounds good. We could look at using the Geronimo Little-G and
Framework distributions to base that on.
Right. This is where I'm interested in the Tuscany/Geronimo
integration... Once we have a working Tuscany plugin, this type of
integration will be nearly automatic... You could install the tuscany
plugin and generate a custom assembly. Will also want to add a server
assembly stage to the plugin build. So, that a geronimo-tuscany server
assembly would be created as part of the tuscany plugin build.
Ultimately, I think we'll want to split the Tuscany plugin into
multiple parts -- rather than one big plugin -- so that a server can
only contain only the functionality that application(s) require.
