Earlier this week, David convinced me to help him get the JPA

manually install it (need to figure out how to automate this) here:

Anyway, while writing this code I ended up writing a thread safe
context which althought it isn't publicly modifiable can
internally modify itself. I also wrote a subclass of this that
watches the kernel for Contexts and adds them to the global name
space. It occurred to me that with this code plus the code
Krishnakumar & Manu wrote in GERONIMO-2153 we may be able to have
a complete global jndi plugin that can run in G 1.1.
I'm going to try this over the next few days and let you'll if it
works out.
Looks interesting. Why would we put this in a patch branch and not
just trunk for v1.2?
I'm actually working on a new plugin that will run in 1.1+ in the
sandbox (not a branch). After I get it working, I think we should
look at pulling it directly into 1.2.
