To call Karaf command from existing geronimo shell. we have to change the current geronimo shell bootstrap from classworld to osgi firstly. And then figure out a way to add some bridge code in geronimo shell. This would allow us to reuse existing Karaf commands and allow new commands > to be written using the Karaf programming model. > I'm wondering can we migrate all existing geronimo commands to karaf shell. and then use gshell-karaf bridge to call them to provide legacy gshell interface. So that two set of commands mode are co-existing. We can recommend the users to use karaf shell from geronimo 3.0. When it get popular, the gshell can be optional or be removed in future release someday. > > Rick > >> >> >> -- >> Shawn >> > > -- Shawn
