Why GBeans - reinventing the wheel?
-----------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-2328
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2328
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Wish
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
    Affects Versions: Wish List
            Reporter: Oleg Gusakov


Guys - why spend time reinventing the wheen with GBean container? One of the 
key values of Geronimo was stated as "bring the best of open technologies 
together rather than rewriting them". And one of the most fundamental features 
- initialization/configuration container - writing it from scratch and making 
all errors once again?

Containers have been around since early days of civilization - pico and nano 
containers, JBoss'es MBeans, microcontainer, Spring to name a few 

And the father of them all - plexus: has been around for a decade - simple, 
reliable, proven. Why not just take plexus and spend efforts on something 
really new and exiting?

You use Maven for the build, so you already have some kind of exposure to it. 
Throw in classwords - and Geronimo rules! No headaches from half cooked 
products. And not deviating from the stated principles :)
