Looking back, I explained what I was intending very poorly in my
previous reply, but Paul has worded it much better. I am in agreement
with this approach 100%.

This is making a -lot- of sense.
There is no reason that we need to build a huge monolithic Eclipse
plugin to allow people to migrate applications to our modular server
platform.
I originally didn't even think about breaking it up into a group of
specific plugins using a common core - even though that is what
Geronimo is all about.

I'm with Paul on this. I envision a Migrate2Geronimo Toolkit that will
consist of a suite of individual plugins (for Eclipse and G), each
handling the migration from a specific appserver to G. Of course, all
these may depend on a base or common plugin. But the user will only
deal with the plugin relevant to him. He will not have to install one
big huge uber migrator if he only has jboss apps.
Next week, we'll look forward to Jason adding a BEA2G plugin to this
M2G Toolkit ;-)

I'm not in favor of generalizing the J2G Eclipse plugin into a super
migrator that grows in complexity as we incorporate new types of
source formats. I think that instead we should look into factoring
out the parts of J2G that could be used for other types migrators
into a separate Eclipse plugin. Then J2G could remain as J2G but
could prereq this new Eclipse plugin, as would any other new
migrators we create.
Best wishes,

Hi, Does anyone have any thoughts as to how we'll position the J2G
plugin in the future ?? I understand now that in its initial
iteration that it is narrowly scoped to work for JBoss specific
migrations only (thus the JBoss in the name). However, it seems if
we want to eventually enhance it as a more generic tool for
migrating multiple applications to Geronimo (which I would hope we
would), it might be a good time now to reconsider a more generic
and/or appropriate name. Any thoughts ??
