application module" message
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: GERONIMO-1811
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1811
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: Improvement
    Security: public (Regular issues) 
  Components: deployment  
    Versions: 1.0    
    Reporter: John Sisson
 Assigned to: John Sisson 
    Priority: Trivial
     Fix For: 1.1


Need to provide more information in the following error message, giving the 
user a bit more of a hint as to what the problem may be.

C:\test>geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT\bin\deploy --user system --password manager 
deploy jstest.ear jstest.xml
Using GERONIMO_BASE:   C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Using GERONIMO_HOME:   C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT\var\temp
Using JRE_HOME:        C:\j2sdk1.4.2_10
    Error: Unable to distribute jstest.ear: Cannot deploy the requested
    application module (planFile=C:\test\jstest.xml,
    
moduleFile=C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT\var\temp\geronimo-deployer59948.tmpdir\jstest.ear)

In the case above it was due to my ear file accidentially having all the files 
under a directory.

I propose we add the following to the end of the message:

Check that the module file contains the expected deployment files and directory 
structure.  If problems persist, ensure the appropriate module builder is 
running.
