I've got a bunch of questions that I need answered quickly. Please help me out if you can:
How can openejb-jar descriptors be generated? Is there an XDoclet plugin? Or, are the geronimo* descriptors generated automatically by the builders?
No XDoclet that I know of... I write them by hand. BTW, The openejb-jar.xml is not required anymore.
How can an application be stopped and undeployed from the command line outside of Maven?
Is OpenEJB planning on supporting EJB 3? Is this work under way?
OpenEJB will support EJB 3 no matter how bad the spec come out. We may not recommend anyone use EJB 3 (and I wouldn't right now), but we will support it.
Can GBeans be included in a jar housing my applicaiton (similar to
.sars being included in an .ear file)? If so, are GBeans deployed first?
Also, should we call the GBean archives .gars?
You can put GBean XML declarations into any descriptor. Specifically in this case, you can put them in your geronimo-application.xml file. If you want the GBean to start first, you need to declare a single valued reference (dependency) from your GBean to the EJB (object name as determined by JSR 77).
The Geronimo builders are creating all the configuration objects. Are these the objects that are serialized out into the config.ser file?
Yes, but there is only one Configuration object created, and it is that object that is serialized.
How can an application be undeployed on the command line (i.e. without the Maven Geronimo plugin)?
