(1) There is currently a JNDI implementation in Tomcat's CVS. It might be
better to move this to Jakarta Commons so we can all work & extend it -
there are various features from Jetty and OpenEjb we'd like to add?

-<strong>Q: What is Elba?</strong>
-</p>
-<p>
-A: Elba is basically an LGPLed snapshot of JBoss (but not called JBoss to
avoid lawsuits). Its not really intended to be developed or enhanced - its a
temporary code repository of increasingly shrinking code.
-</p>
-<p>
-The idea being for the next (say 1 year) Geronimo by itself isn't gonna be a
full J2EE stack. So rather than suffering a Mozilla-style period of lack of use
- Elba is a temporary LGPL add-on to Geronimo that Jboss code with Geronimo to
provide a full J2EE stack. So from day 1 Geronimo can be used (if so desired)
as a full J2EE stack by using the Elba code.
-</p>
-<p>
-Of course users are totally welcome to just use whats in Geronimo and
nothing else. Or they can drop in other existing services if they wish too. So
Geronimo is a clean normal Apache project. If need be you can drop the Elba
stuff into Geronimo and get a full J2EE stack.
-</p>
-<p>
-So the Elba drop of code is totally optional for those who want to migrate
from JBoss to Geronimo from day 1 and keep a full J2EE stack. Though as soon as
possible all the Elba stuff can be scrapped as Geronimo by itself becomes the
complete J2EE stack (along with the stuff it reuses like Tomcat / Axis / mx4j
etc).
-</p>
-<p>
-e.g. we replace the JMS from JBoss with OpenJMS. We replace the transaction
manager with Tyrex etc. Rewrite the connectors to Tomcat/Jetty/Axis and so
forth. As time goes on Elba shrinks away to nothing.
-</p>
-<p>
-So in summary Elba is a Geronimo distribution which includes dead LGPL code
that can be useful to bootstrap Geronimo. I hope it doesn't exist this time
next year and its use is totally optional.
