Searched Geronimo sandbox (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/geronimo/sandbox/right?) for code related to Geronimo specific annotations. My search in vain. Please point me to the code you are referring to.

Hi Shiva, There hasn't been much positive feedback around it, but I still strongly believe there is value around geronimo specific annotations. If not yet used by the runtime, having them atleast for development purposes would be great. Is this something you could look into? Currently in the sandbox there are some geronimo specific annotations but there are xdoclet based. Perhaps this work could be ported over to 175 by creating an annotation processes for them. (There are extensions in the Eclipse Platform to allow to create processors for 175 annotations). If we could have a working prototype of something like this then we could perhaps better evaluate the need for it. So for now the question regarding 175 specific annotations for Geronimo breaks down into two peices.. (1) Provide 175 annotations that the annotation processor would run against during a workspace build that would generate the necessary xml (like xdoc today) (2) Runtime -- Allow geronimo specific 175 annotations that are not processed in the IDE, but referenced and resolve at runtime. (Like all the rest of the JEE annotations) -sachin On Feb 20, 2007, at 6:56 AM, Shiva Kumar H R wrote: 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: > > Great news!!! can't wait to give it try ;-) > > Cheers! > Hernan > > Sachin Patel wrote: > > So I think now is a good time as any to bring up discussion around our > > Eclipse Tooling delivery for Geronimo 2.0.
