I stand corrected, thanks. My response was not intended to show any level of competition between TomEE and Geronimo. I think both projects share committers, or the same person as lead for both projects. Recently, I learned/read that Geronimo targeted or was developed for IBM. As a TomEE user, i know that TomEE is alive and well.
