I see Monitoring Console as a tool, a standard J2EE Application,

and hence prefer /plugins. Its location in svn does not affect the
convenience of using it. It will always be installed from 'plugins'
portlet and will be visible as an available plugin.
But that is just my opinion..
You make a good point. I think the correct decision would be what do
the users want in terms of it being an integral part of what they do
they would prefer to not go and install it but have it as part of the
base install. I'd be ok with either approach. Most AppServers that I
know of do ship their project with some minimal level of monitoring.
Perhaps that is the JMXViewer. Although, I'd personally prefer the
GUI of the console over the viewer but that is personal preferece.
