How about renaming it to "System Properties" as that seems to be what 
it contains and then breaking the monolithic page down into one 
sub-page per section (e.g. "Java", "Sun" (derived from JVM vendor id), 
"Other")


It would also help if the foramtting had a generic way of identifying 
paths and breaking them down by line.


I like this approach.  Where the information is available its better to 
expose it in the event it will be used.  The classpaths themselves are 
useful but I agree on super long one is kind of ugly.  Organization is 
better than elimination.

I think this is all really useful data for us and possibly even for 
people building a server from the components of Geronimo.  However, 
for the average user that is just going to pick up Geronimo, do some 
minor configuration, and deploy applications this seems a bit 
overwhelming.   Also, it has been my experience that more extraneous 
information is not always a "good thing to have which can easily be 
ignored".  Some users look at this and decide that the server is too 
complicated for their needs.   Perhaps it would be better to reference 
this information during initialization and save it off to a file for 
reference when debugging a problem.


Thoughts?

I don't see how it could hurt, even for unsophisticated users.  It's not 
like we're making them go to that page, right?

Web Console - JVM portlet

2005-08-03 Thread Joe Bohn
Do we need this type of detail about the JVM in an administrative 
portlet (see the JVM portlet under Server)?   This seems to be a bit 
over the top.  IMO this is especially true when listing the details on 
the OS, Sun (will this even work if we're not using the sun?) User, and 
Etc sections.  

I think this is all really useful data for us and possibly even for 
people building a server from the components of Geronimo.  However, for 
the average user that is just going to pick up Geronimo, do some minor 
configuration, and deploy applications this seems a bit overwhelming.   
Also, it has been my experience that more extraneous information is not 
always a "good thing to have which can easily be ignored".  Some users 
look at this and decide that the server is too complicated for their 
needs.   Perhaps it would be better to reference this information during 
initialization and save it off to a file for reference when debugging a 
problem.


Thoughts?
