If we have some working tool that facilitates migrating to Geronimo I think
it's definitively worth mentioning on the main web site.
It seems to me that a place somewhere closer to the dev tools subproject would
be a better fit.
I see there are two documents on the wiki (for Geronimo 1.1 and 2.0
respectively), you folks would have to work on some shorter version (a couple
of paragraphs) describing what this tool does and how so it can be included on
the web site.
I don't really know much about this tool entrails so I'll wait on others for
some more input. But if there is a tool that help users adopt Geronimo I'm all
for it ;-)
Cheers!

All,
After the recent round of changes and improvements around j2g (usable
from within the Eclipse IDE UI, Annotations support, improved
logging/information output, support for EJB 3), as well as a bit of
interest out in the general open source community in moving applications
from Jboss to Geronimo (such as today's inquiry on theserverside.com
<http://theserverside.com>), I feel as though it would be of some
benefit to have j2g, at least the content in our confluence wiki (
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/j2g-migration-tool.html) linked
somewhere on the actual geronimo homepage. I was thinking either as it's
own link under 'Subprojects', much as Development Tools, GBuild, or
XBean are situated, or as an addition inside the Development Tools page,
much as the current Eclipse Plug-in section rests within there.
I am willing to commit to doing a bit of additional writing (beyond what
is on the wiki) if it were to be under it's own section, or a subsection
of development tools if necessary, but I think it would be good to get
it up and out there sooner rather than later, especially to coincide
with the recent release of 2.0.1 to perhaps show those out there
remotely interested in migrating, there are tools available to assist
and perhaps 'hold their hand' a bit.
Thoughts? Comments? Objections?
Thanks
