As far as what users want, let me make a generic statement. The
server tooling area is already an established area, especially in
commercial tools such as WebSphere Application Toolkit and Rational
Application Developer. Now IBM, BEA, and many other participants
are actively involved in the WTP effort in which the goal is to
provide tooling support for J2EE and other application servers that
not only provides a strong set of J2EE functionality but is also a
completely extendable framework. We need to avoid two parallel
efforts here in our tooling support for Geronimo but rather build
and leverage these frameworks and projects that have been accepted
and established already in the open source community, and use this
as our starting blueprint. If and when this is an Apache
subproject, its critical that the Eclipse and Apache communities
communicate and work together. So my opinion is that we don't need
to be re-inventing the wheel here, but keep our roadmap and
requirements focused on providing the Geronimo specific pieces that
integrate nicely with WTP. So what the community wants for J2EE
and server tooling is constantly being discussed in the Eclipse
community, we just need to start getting involved in those
discussions and bring forth feature requests to them.
