I sent this proposal a while back and simply forgot about it until
Alan started working on the specs cleanup. I think the problem was I
presented it as one huge change, so this time I'm going to try to
break it up into tasks I can put into JIRA once approved.
In general the overall structure would be:
geronimo/trunk - Stuff needed for the J2EE server
geronimo/specs/trunk - Specification API implementations
geronimo/trunk/console - The J2ee web admin console
geronimo/examples/*/trunk - Example apps for new users (do we want to
version these?)
geronimo/applications/*/trunk - Standalone applications such as
dayTrader and uddi-server
geronimo/sandbox/*/ - Play area
geronimo/contrib/*/ - Tags of the initial import from a donation
* Note the last two don't need to be versioned
What do you think?

Sandbox
-------
I think this should be moved to the root of the tree and be a place
where any committer can play or experiment freely. The contrib
directory in the sandbox seems like it was created as an initial home
for the initial import new contributions (i.e., a tag of the initial
import). I like this idea and think we should move contrib to root
and attempt to back fill the big initial imports like the console and
the eclipse plugin. The other sandbox directory I have questions on
it petstore. If it works, I think we should move it to an examples
directory off of root.
geronimo/trunk/sandbox --> geronimo/sandbox
geronimo/trunk/sandbox/contrib --> geronimo/contrib
geronimo/trunk/sandbox/mail --> geronimo/sandbox/mail
geronimo/trunk/sandbox/petstore --> geronimo/examples/petstore
geronimo/trunk/sandbox/spring-assembly --> geronimo/sandbox/spring-
assembly
geronimo/trunk/applications/jmxdebug --> geronimo/sandbox/
jmxdebug (I think this need more work or we should simply drop it)
Console
-------
Aaron correct me if I'm wrong... I assume that the console is tied to
the version of the Geronimo server it is included with, so it would
be unreasonable to ship it separately. Therefore, I think we should
make move it to the root of trunk
geronimo/trunk/applications/console-core --> geronimo/trunk/
console/core
geronimo/trunk/applications/console-ear --> geronimo/trunk/
console/ear
geronimo/trunk/applications/console-framework --> geronimo/trunk/
console/framework
geronimo/trunk/applications/console-standard --> geronimo/trunk/
console/standard
Specs
-----
Alan is on this one
Applications
------------
There is another thread on this, "Applications directory structure",
started by Dave Colasurdo. Whatever comes out of that would be this
task.
