I've had similar discussions about Maven with folks. One other area that people were interested about with plugins that I forgot about was configuration. It's fine to develop an app that has a datasource that's local but there is little likelyhood that the same datasource will be used in

So here's the thing with datasources. There just has to be one with a matching name. We don't attempt to validate what it points to. So you can have MyAppDataSource on dev, test, and prod servers, pointing to a different database on each box. Then if you deploy an application plugin that

Here are some plugins that I would like to create or see created. Many of them would have both console portlets for configuration and JNDI-accessible APIs for direct access from applications. (BTW, I think it would be great to have a Geronimo Plugins space in Confluence where we could flesh out

You mentioned SiteMinder -- that would be great, but it might be easier to start with Yale CAS, since that's open source. Also, one of the issues on the table for 1.1.1 is to make the security realm portlet more dynamic. Right now, there's no way to plug in new configurations for it. It will

(Changing subject to make thread more generic) So there are two ways to create a plugin. One is to get the module running in Geronimo and then create the metadata file and export the CAR -- there's an API for this (which the console uses) and the Eclipse plugin could use too. The other way is

One of the folks at the Geronimo talk at the Enterprise Open Source conference in NYC was from a university that uses Apt, RPM, and tools like that to manage their patches and infrastructure. They were especially interested in find ways like that to distribute plugins. He mentioned a feature in
