I don't see why we shouldn't. But can someone more informed please
list the pros and cons.
Here's my list:
Pro's
* Easier for other projects to reuse GShell
* Release cycle not tied to Geronimo server release cycle
Con's
* Small overhead for being a separately released project --
documentation, release voting, etc
* Separate source tree can complicate debugging (can make the
counterpoint that debugging GShell is easier...)
The Geronimo tx-manager components (transaction and connector) is
another example where we've done this. Note that prior to (or
concurrent with) voting on our last two releases, we've been voting
on a tx-manager release. Although it need not be that way, we're
falling into a lock-step release cycle...
I assume that Guillaume is interested in using GShell outside of
Geronimo. I assume that there will be others...
I'd support GShell as a subproject...
