Until we resolve whether it should be the default, I suggest the following workaround: 1. Have the app say 'sorry, no default plugin location has not been configured. please see the file hoo-hah.txt' 2. Have hoo-hah.txt explain how to set the property (or whatever), and list known locations. At the moment that'll mean geronimoplugins.com This way we're making it a decision the *user* has to make, rather than making it for him. And we're not silently introducing a non-ASF site dependency into ASF code. Regardless of how the geronimoplugins-by-default discussion gets resolved, this should be a very simple change to either revert or to enhance. How do people feel about that as a workaround? And we may end up deciding to use geronimoplugins as the default -- at least until there's something better. :-) > In light of that, I ask the veto-ers to suspend their vetos until > there is some reasonable alternative.

Hernan didn't actually veto, but he *did* say "I would really like to see and participate in the discussions before seeing the changes already implemented." (Hernan, I hope I'm not quoting you out of context.) Matt and Dims said much the same. And I'm -1 also. When a change arouses this much controversy, I don't think it is a good thing to leave it in until vetoers are convinced. Not to mention that's not how it works. There is absolutely no reason why there *has* to be a working default in code currently only in svn. There is no requirement that the repository contain only working code. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRFeew5rNPMCpn3XdAQKx7wQA0B8Ag7NxngFjNbXI93VJtEn9t6t6SYfj J3Nf0KIU1jj7oDLrgF0Tltb0AeODfhy0JoP/MDrJ3zcl6TMyWzmv/8P0f2qrmZVx mhJCEwprEnUykGvaFtPWAD1UDKlLwz/7LaPT2G5oKBhR9LF9/kb93648l4g3BlGT ZQ83asB1s20= =t84U -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
