Assembly tools, yes. These are standardized and the .ear you output is
deployable in any J2EE platform.
Deployment tools on the other hand are server-specific. Orion currently
ships with assembly tools (earassembler being the main one) but deployment
is still "file based". The admin console from where deployment will take
place is under development but the release has been postponed to the Orion
1.1 release. 1.1 is not far off though, it will follow shortly after the
"fcs" 1.0 release.
So, for now:
a) You can either use the Sun-RI assembly tools or Orion's tools for
assembly (to make the .ear), both works.
b) For deployment you'll have to edit server.xml etc until the admin console
is released.
I hope that clears things up.
