Sounds great to me. I'm assuming that on top of what you have
working locally we could copy geronimo/plugins/console/trunk into
geronimo/server/trunk/plugins/console (or wherever you had in mind)
and tweak the poms accordingly for an interim solution. That will
provide our pre-assembled servers with a base console that contains
a plugin installer for installing the other server plugins and
console extensions like the dojo viewers, system DB and activemq
portlets, etc. Those plugins would still need to be built,
released, and installed separately unless we wanted to move them
under server/trunk as well as part of this interim solution.
Depends on how far we want to go with reflecting the modularity of
the server in how we structure SVN and handle release management.
ATM I'd favor moving everything we expect to ship in any server into
trunk somewhere. Then reorganize stuff into groups of plugins (e.g.
the amq admin with amq cars jars and rars). Then when it works more
or less reliably and we think the division into plugins/plugin groups
is reasonable move each plugin group into a reasonable separately
versioned area.

I think that we should approach the "assemble server from plugins"
idea in stages:
1. build all the plugins inside the current server/trunk build
framework and assemble the server from these. This is almost
working locally.... maybe this weekend.
2. distribute the sets of related plugins into a different svn
layout with unconnected release cycles and figure out how to end
up with a usable server with so many moving parts. :-)
So in line with (1) I'd like to see the new console move ASAP,
perhaps temporarily, into maybe server/trunk/plugins where we can
immediately start including it in servers without having to solve
(2).
thanks

The old admin console in trunk still has a few loose ends after
the schema changes in GERONIMO-3330. Right now we're fixing/
improving the plugin management portlet in the new admin console
based on the ppt I sent out the other day and it should work OK
for you. It's pretty easy to install into a minimal assembly
using:
% bin/deploy.sh search-plugins http://geronimo.apache.org/
plugins/geronimo-2.1/
Administration Console :: Tomcat plugin
63: (1.0-SNAPSHOT)
Administration Console :: Jetty plugin
64: (1.0-SNAPSHOT)
You can install it into a jee5 assembly if you uninstall the old
admin console first (they both want to use /console context root).
As indicated above, the new pluggable admin console is itself a
plugin and is not kept in server/trunk. So when we start
building the full-sized assemblies from framework+plugins we can
replace the old admin console. I left the old one in place to
minimize disruption while we figure out how we want to build
servers using the more modular approach.
BTW I've made a lot of progress on this locally.... I have a
jetty server that's assembled from plugins that starts and shows
the (old) admin console that's assembled from plugins. I'm
hoping to get the other servers assembled this way this weekend
and then commit.
