Let me do some quick learning of jaxb and start a separate thread on this.
We need to discuss introducing more dependencies on JAXB as a group first, as this just ties more of our server code with Sun RI, which has no alternative implementation right now (and could be licensed from Sun as GPL in future releases....)

With every update to Geronimo deployment schema, it's a major pain to generate new EMF classes. If however, GEP uses the same model framework as that of Geronimo server (XMLBeans), then at least this problem would be solved. IIUC JSR-88 DConfigBeans would be the ideal model framework for GEP - in that case even if the model framework of server changes in future, GEP would be unaffected. b) Critical bug fixes c) Make "Download and Install" option more intuitive d) Customize Web Services Wizard: The default implementation of WTP's web services wizard embeds an Axis engine inside a web-app and then deploys it in a web server such as Tomcat. However this isn't the right approach for Geronimo as it already has a global web services engine deployed. Hence web services wizard's behavior must be customized when deploying onto Geronimo. e) Better Remote server support f) Testsuite Automation g) Integrating JavaEE Samples. 3) Admin Console Tools: a) Server Build Tool: For instance, a "button" to push that spits out a server with just what is needed for a set of apps and nothing else. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg54849.html b) Cluster Admin Tools: Geronimo has a lot of partial clustering solutions. For instance there's WADI, native tomcat clustering, a terracotta integration, and many others. A cluster admin tool would be of great help in the setting-up and fine-tuning of those clustering solutions. I am stuck in 1) a) Plan Creator work for the past year or so and it is still not complete! So if I alone work on many of those features, God alone knows when I will complete them. Any takers/collaborators? On Feb 7, 2008 8:28 PM, Vamsavardhana Reddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Hello, Geronimo had a great year 2007. I don't need to re-list all our achievements listed in Matt's mail from 31st Dec 2007(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg54994.html). Now that 2.1 is also rolling out, I think it is time we startdiscussing what we want to do in Geronimo in year 2008. Let us also discuss what we "must" do to make Geronimo an application server of choice. I would like all of us to use this mail thread to put forth our thoughts (and any action items some of us may have already come up with silently) so that the community can see what great heights Geronimo will scale in 2008.
