Meanwhile I am looking at what are the community's plans towards Geronimo 2.0 Deployment Plans and the required support we might have to provide in DevTools.
Given that Java EE 5 Annotations now makes the use of XML deployment descriptors optional (except for the deployment descriptor required by servlet specification in web.xml I think), what could be our strategies towards Geronimo Deployment Plans? Are we going to retain the XML structure for our deployment plans? or Are we going to create Geronimo specific Annotations for them? This was asked earlier also but didn't receive any notice then: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg39672.html -- Thx, Shiva On 2/19/07, Hernan Cunico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
