It won't be bad to change the URL, but I think the more pressing need
is for the user to be able to add new repositories directly. The
plugin repository list GBean tracks both the repositories downloaded
from the "official" list and a group of user-added repositories that
will be kept even if the contents of the official list change so the
other entries are replaced. So we need a button/link and a screen or
JavaScript popup or something so the user can select to add a new
repository and it will be added to the list of user repositories.
You're welcome to work on that.
Thanks,

In Geronimo 1.1 the console retrieves its default list of plugin
repositories from a URL under people.apache.org. This can be changed
by overriding an attribute of the DownloadedPluginRepos gbean in
config.xml. GERONIMO-2076 calls out the need for making the list of
plugin repositories configurable without having to manually edit
config.xml.
Since the 1.1.1 release is gearing up I was looking for JIRAs I can
work on. Unless someone else already has their eye on this JIRA
(Aaron?) I would like to provide a new portlet that will allow the
user to easily add/remove plugin repositories. The list would still
be persisted in config.xml. I can also change the location of the
default repository list to somewhere under geronimo.apache.org, which
would be handy since those documents are version controlled and (I
would assume) hosted on a higher volume server.
Thoughts?
Best wishes,
Paul
