This is a good idea. I have been thinking about something similar. I would like to make a contribution, but really it would be great to have a project to help cut my teeth on.
I have been thinking about creating some type of EJB based application framework, not to repeat the work of Struts or Tapestry, but to create an EJB tier to lie underneath such presentation frameworks. Such a project would also help create some 'vendor lock-in' as it where. Even if it was still distributed under an open source license (I would suggest LGPL personally), we could tie the components to JBoss rather than do 'clean-room' implementations and create further value and differentiation for JBoss as an 'enterprise platform'. Some other suggestions: Management Console: there apparently is one for JBoss, but I could never get it working an no one ever replied to my request on this liust for assistance. WEith clustering immanent in v3.0, some type of management tool is essential. Something modelled on the JRun Console would be great...this is still one of the best server admin tools I have used. NetBeans plugins and tools. Anything to help get JBoss integrated more tightly into NetBeans (as the defacto standard Open Source Java IDE). Tools for creating deployment descriptors, testing, anything else that came to mind. >Hi! > > First, a little background: > 1.
