> I was testing the Geronimo server adapter. The good news is that it works.
> The bad news is that I had to struggle. There are two confusing messages on
> the New Server Runtime wizard page.
> 1. The "Application Server Installation Directory" field is a problem. It is
> initially empty and the wizard displays the message "Missing classpath entry
> \bin\server.jar". I though maybe I had to install the server so I tried to
> click the "Download and Install" button, but it didn't click. I assume you
> disabled it, but it wasn't grayed out so I thought there was a bug. Same for
> the radio buttons to select Tomcat or Jetty. I was getting frustrated at this
> point, so I thought maybe the missing jar was already downloaded with the
> server adapter. I clicked the "Browse" button and went to the server adapter
> plugin directory and select the lib directory. This didn't remove the
> "missing classpath" message, but at least not that the directory field wasn't
> empty, I could finally click the "Download and Install" button.
> Please use a better message. If the directory field is empty, say "Please
> enter the directory where Geronimo is currently installed or where you would
> like it to be installed."
> 2. After I downloaded Geronimo, the wizard displayed a warning message that
> said only 1.4 JVMs were supported. However, I selected a 1.4 JVM, the IBM JDK
> 1.4.2. I still got the warning. Please defect the JVM level and display the
> correct message.
> I attached screenshots.
