Thanks David for your comments.
I guess we have some different understandings regarding "Users" of
Geronimo.My understanding is that Geronimo is an application server
and its
primary user would be application developers. While they might need
to know
what a plugin or a gbean is in Geronimo but don't have to build the
source
code. That's where my proposal comes from. And mostly they would read
GMOxDOC to learn how to utilize Geronimo for their application
development.
And we have another group of "Users"(actually I'd rather call them
"developers" ^_^), they are more interested in Geronimo structure,
kernel
and keen on breakthroughs. In my understanding, they would go to
GMOXDEV for
more information.
Any other ideas, please speak up. :)
To me, the preferred way of using geronimo for anything other than
experimentation with toy apps is to use your build system to build
your apps, package them as geronimo plugins, and build a custom server
assembly including your apps. I'd prefer if the documentation clearly
reflect this approach. In any case I think anything relevant to this
approach needs to be in the 2.2 docs.
thanks

Do we need to move following topics to GMOXDEV as they are also
about how to
build
1. build a plugin as part of a maven build using the car-maven-
plugin.
2. install a plugin using the car-maven-plugin
3. Assembling a server using Maven
These all need to stay in the regular documentation. We expect many
users to do all these activities every day, even if they don't build
geronimo.
thanks

If the answer is yes. Maybe we could have a page to collect all
informations
on how to build with maven at GMOXDEV?So far, I have some topics
coming up
my mind:
a. build Geronimo source code;
b. build/install a plugin using car-maven-plugin;
c. build a new server from the existing one;
d. build GEP
......and more
Any comments?

Agree. Using the eclipse/build.xml file from svn should go in the
GMOxDEV space, as that is really only for developers. Maybe we
could
include a Note and pointer over to the Dev docs for anyone who is
interested in using it.
