prototype offline deploy tool
-----------------------------

         Key: GERONIMO-1507
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1507
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: New Feature
  Components: deployment  
    Versions: 1.0.1    
 Environment: fedora core 2
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03)
Geronimo 1.0 branch, 
    Reporter: toby cabot
    Priority: Minor


Here's a prototype offline deploy tool.  It has only one command, for offline 
distribution of applications.  It's basically a clone of the online tool so it 
works in a similar way, but for the distribute-offline command it uses a hacked 
version of the packaging plugin's PackageBuilder class to start a kernel, load 
some configurations, and then call the deployer.

It has one serious bug at the moment: it doesn't switch between tomcat and 
jetty.  Not sure why, but I can look into it more.

It has some missing features:
 - it should get dependencies from somewhere (maybe download them from an 
online Maven repo)
 - it should be able to manipulate config.xml
 - it needs more commands (at least undistribute)
 - it needs to allow the user to specify the config-store to write to

There's probably a lot of unused code there, too, since I haven't figured out 
what everything does yet.  But it's a start.

You can use it like the online tool.  The jar is $GERONIMO_HOME/bin/offline.jar.
