On the user list Erin suggested (see mail below) that some of the
files in the var/config directory be renamed.
* Does renaming the files make less sense now that users can
instruct Geronimo to use a specific config file (instead of the
default config.xml file) by setting the
org.apache.geronimo.config.file system property?
I think it is better to describe how to select a config.xml file
using the system property, and this should be done in the root
README.txt file.
* Erin's suggestion of the README file is worthwhile. I suggest we
call the README file README.txt (to simplify fixcrlf processing at
packaging time and to make it easier for windows users to view).
+1 and we should also include a config.xml.original file in the
distribution
* In the long term I think we should also have README.txt files in
other major Geronimo directories so administrators can quickly
familiarise themselves with the purpose of directories (without
having to find and read through a manual). The README is not a
replacement for a manual and can contain URLs for the full
documentation.
