Hi Matt, to address the problems you've encountered I've done a number of things to hopefully ease the effort required to review and test the plugin:

1 -- There is now a rudimentary set of install instructions available at the url below that will hopefully describe the necessary prereqs and steps required to install and run the plugin. I'm in the process of creating Wiki pages for the Plugin Release Process and General Information about the plugin, and would like to use this document as a base for the General Information page. So, I would be very interested in getting feedback on these instructions:

        
http://people.apache.org/~mcconne/releases/Geronimo_Eclipse_Plugin_2.0_Instructions.txt

2 -- There is now an ant build.xml file that can be used to download all the prereqs for the plugin. It is documented in the instructions.

3 -- Per numerous recommendations, I've created a Staging Site that used to test the update manager functions of Eclipse for downloading both the plugin itself and the Geronimo Server. This is also documented in the instructions.

Hopefully, these will help. If not just let me know. The vote will now conclude at 8:00 AM EST Sunday September 9th. Thanks much
