Thanks for your input David. So is there support today to plugin
additional config-stores and repositories? I didn't think there was.
I think Toby Cabot has geronimo running with multiple config stores
and repositories. The packaging and assembly plugins use local-maven-
repo based repository and config store implmementations.
One thing I completely don't understand :-) is how you are going to
get a classloader in geronimo to reload a class. At the moment this
requires stopping and (re)starting the configuration involved.
Although this certainly doesn't involve redeploying the app, it is
still somewhat non-trivial. Do you have a faster way?
thanks

I think I have found my hook at least for (Tomcat) to load all
resources from Eclipse. I will need to implement a classloader
that extends org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader to handle
the WTP project structure. From a pure tomcat perspective a
Loader entry for each web app can be provided in the context.xml
file. Many of the attributes in server.xml are provided as
gbeans in the tomcat plan, but their doesn't seem to be anything
for elements in the context.xml.
Is provding a gbean for the loader element the correct hook into
geronimo to provide this support? If so, could someone advise me
on how best to continue from a geronimo perspective? This would
be really cool we could get this working even if it were just for
web projects using the tomcat distro.
I'm afraid I haven't followed what you are proposing very closely,
but I would expect the most portable way to do something like this
would be to implement an eclipse-aware config-store and
repository. I thought we were preventing tomcat from building
any classloaders by supplying our own.
