Might as well bring this up now, instead of later. I'm not going to maintain the web console that I've been working on as a module inside of geronimo anymore. It doesn't belong in here and it's next to impossible to maintain in both places at once. I'm going to continue working on it outside of the ASF and make it available for download, relicensing and inclusion into the server as a third-party value-added component. Probably the best thing would be to wire it in through maven. It's just a WAR file for god's sake, and already exists on the extreme outer periphery of the project anyway ; ) Packaging up its source inside the server core seems inappropriate and it's a pain to get changes committed (sorry guys, but that's the truth). Any functionality other than the absolute bare-bones implementation required for JSR-3 really has no business inside of the Geronimo CVS tree, and you get that for free with MX4J anyway. One could make similar arguments for javamail, probably for twiddle, and some of the other component modules that have been laying around since October.
IMO, value-added pieces like those should be their own projects that can plug in to Geronimo, and shouldn't clutter the Geronimo source. I suggest the developers have a talk about it and put the matter to a vote. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I'm not sure, but maybe eventually enough healthy value-added projects will grow up around Geronimo that we can get organized under the ASF's wing. But if it isn't required for spec compliance, maybe you should consider carving it out. I'm not certain where I'll be relocating the console, but when I figure that out I'll let y'all know. Development will continue, just not here. I have hit some roadblocks in the view and controller components in the UI that I want to address before I continue. Best, -- N.
