The Database Pool wizard generates console.dbpool as groupId for the

Suggestions?
I disagree. If you are building something to be included in geronimo,
then o.a.g.configs would be the appropriate groupId. However I think
that the console dbwizard will mostly be used by other organizations to
generate configs for their projects. So the groupId should really by
the groupId for their project.
Right ... this isn't a pool for use by Geronimo itself.
What I'd like to see is a place to set an installation default groupId
so if your project is org.foo.bar then all deployments where you don't
explicitly set the groupId come out with groupId org.foo.bar, whether
you start from the command line, the console deployer, or one of the
wizards.
An installation default version would also be good. At some point we
might want to consider an autoincrementing versioning scheme where if
you redeploy something you automatically get a slightly higher version
number and the old is undeployed after the new is verified to work.
This ought to make rolling back mistakes easier.
+1 We should allow for user specific default values with the ability to
override those values in the console. I'm not sure about the
auto-increment feature ... I guess it would be fine if we could make it
optional as well.
Previously I assumed we needed version ranges to deal with this but it
occurs to me that the artifact_aliases file could provide more precise
control over exactly which version is used. e.g. you'd map version 1.2
to 1.2-1, then 1.2-2, etc, where the -x is added by the deployer.
A lot of this is for the future, but it might not be too hard to add a
way to set the installation default groupId and version. A simple gbean
might do.
