I'm ok for splitting it out. I'm not sure today is the best
timing. My experience is the simple things like this as your
releasing software is the thing that goes belly up and causes great
pain. We'll have to peel it out, test it, vote on it, etc.
I'd prefer to do this after we get 1.2-beta and 2.0-m1 out the door.
Sure. We can start creating the separate modules now, but we can
leave 1.2-beta and 2.0-m1 using their own copies.

I monitor a bunch of lists and it looks like the Geronimo
transaction library is getting pretty popular. Looks like Ofbiz,
ODE, and Tuscany are now using it. That's in addition to
ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, and of course OpenEJB.
Interesting thing is that their all using it standalone via the
Jencks.org stuff.
What is stopping us from splitting this out?
I say we just leave the gbeans where they are, rename the module
to geronimo-transaction-gbeans, then move the rest of the code
out, make a new pom and mark any deps still required with
'<scope>provided'.
Are you proposing:
geronimo/server/[trunk | branches/1.2] /modules/geronimo-
transaction-gbeans for the server and branches and
geronimo/modules/geronimo-transaction/trunk/
/tags/
/branches/
for the externalized transaction and connector modules?
Right. I could take or leave the 'modules' prefix, but it's kind of
nice.
So for after 2.0-m1 and 1.2-beta1 we would move it out and version
it as 2.0-SNAPSHOT and release as -2.0.
We can move out now and mark them 2.0-SNAPSHOT. After 2.0-m1 and 1.2-
beta1 we can work on getting those codelines to use the independently
versioned copies and when that works, we release them as 2.0.
This kind of implies that the other modules like tomcat, jetty,
activemq, etc should be renamed with -gbean suffixes to be consistent.
The activemq one maybe as I think that one really does only have
gbeans in it, but the rest have a lot more integration code. We can
use any suffix we like really, we just need an artifactId different
than geronimo-transaction. In fact we maybe just want to throw the
leftover gbeans into another module, like geronimo-core. But we can
decide that later.
