I just took a stab at porting the old gbeans to 4.x and everything is compiling now again. So I think for 4.x we should have at least the same level of crappy integration that 3.x had. I'm hoping we can do better though. I started to test with Geronimo 1.1 and I've him my first big issue. ActiveMQ 4.x depends on activeio 2.1 which is not compatible with the version Geronimo uses. So I think I'll work on upgrading activemq to use activeio 3.x which CAN be concurrently used with the version Geronimo uses. I would just upgrade Geronimo's security module to use the 2.x or 3.x but activeio's interfaces are still not pinned down and I want to avoid other folks from breaking next time it changes.
