One reason is that by being "standalone" it is easier to ensure the project is tied to closely to Geronimo, which makes distribution on other containers easier. -Matthias On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 2:11 AM, Mohammad Nour El-Din<nour.moham...@gmail.com> wrote: > -1 > > Allow me to disagree with you Gurkan, IMHO I think OWN should be a TLP > project.
