Mark Struberg closed GERONIMO-5980.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Closing old outdated issues.
Note that the Apache Geronimo Application Server itself was declared EOL in
2017 and we do not maintain the server parts anymore.
We still do actively maintain many of the Java EE / Jakarta EE which saw the
light during creation of the Apache Geronimo Aplication Server.
If you feel that this ticket still affects one of those components then please
feel free to reopen the ticket.
thanks, your Apache Geronimo team!

> Several users have reported problems starting Geronimo. The cause seems to be
