The default samples in the binary and installer should be Demo

Hmmmm. After looking at Demo. not too sure it is the best
choice.. MagicGball does seems a bit better though doesn't
really demonstrate the technology (at least not directly in your
face). Tomcat has done a good job in this space with servlets-
examples and jsp-examples.. They show some of the J2EE concepts
and provide an easy way to look at the source from the browser.
Good point. Do you want to take a crack at creating some better
examples?
I'll look into this.. Also, can someone help clarify the line
between reusing open source and providing unique project identity.
Basically, I'm wondering if it makes any sense to reuse the Tomcat
examples (along with a few small additional enhancements (e.g.
EJBs) as the default sample that gets installed with geronimo. Or
is it better to create our own Geronimo unique sample?
Normally, I would say let's make our own, but Tomcat is the Apache
platform closest to Geronimo, so I think it would be cool to reuse
their examples as it would make the massive number of Tomcat users
feel at home in Geronimo.
