I just installed the JSP examples through: java -jar $GERONIMO_HOME/bin/deployer.jar --user system --password manager \ search-plugins http://www.geronimoplugins.com/repository/geronimo-1.1
Which I accidentally found while catching up with this list. Wow. This is really nice! I can imagine telling the admins of my current customer to download Geronimo and pointing it to the internal plugin repository to turn a plain vanilla geronimo into a website cluster node or a backend component. This will make my life so much easier :-) Some questions though: Will standard components like ActiveMQ and Derby also become available as plugins? It would be really nice to simply start with geronimo-minimal and then just add those components that you need. When I installed the JSP Examples component it also installed commons-collections-.3.1. But when I undeployed the examples, it kept the commons-collections in the repository. I know this is very tricky, but maybe it is nice to have a 'uninstall-plugin' command that also purges dependencies that are not referenced anymore. Documentation :-) I have questions like what is a plugin, what does the repository look like, how do I build my own plugin, etc. Is there anything available now that I can start with? I have some ideas for plugins and I can easily document one of them on my blog. I just have no idea where to start now. S.
