>>Ps: groovy jar is big so any issue making the new gui optional?
No problem. In fact, this is what I had in mind. The users could choose to
drop the extra war file or not.
The webaccess (or admin :) ) would not be part of the main distribution,
but it would be another separated download.
The important thing is "tomee.war". The "webaccess.war" ("admin.war"?) is
only an extra tool.
