In Geronimo 1.1 the console retrieves its default list of plugin repositories from a URL under people.apache.org. This can be changed by overriding an attribute of the DownloadedPluginRepos gbean in config.xml. GERONIMO-2076 calls out the need for making the list of plugin repositories configurable without having to manually edit config.xml.
Since the 1.1.1 release is gearing up I was looking for JIRAs I can work on. Unless someone else already has their eye on this JIRA (Aaron?) I would like to provide a new portlet that will allow the user to easily add/remove plugin repositories. The list would still be persisted in config.xml. I can also change the location of the default repository list to somewhere under geronimo.apache.org, which would be handy since those documents are version controlled and (I would assume) hosted on a higher volume server. Thoughts? Best wishes, Paul
