A bit of unfinished business from 2.1 is the release of samples. I think we need to get these fixed and available fairly soon for 2.1. Here are some questions for discussion around that and how we should manage the samples in general.1) Do we release all the samples collectively or individually? My vote would be collectively.
collectively
2) When to release the samples? I think we should make an effort to release the samples concurrent with each Geronimo release. This is important because the jsp & servlet examples are referenced from within the welcome page on Geronimo. I suppose we could remove that reference and eliminate the need to release concurrently.
why not move the samples back under geronimo/server, so they are maintained and versioned with each release and can then be used as additional testsuite tests? If not, releasing right after a server release is fine.
3) Managing sample source. IMO the only place we should maintain source for the samples is in svn. I think Jarek managed to update all of the sample doc with references to the svn repo for each sample but I think there might be a place or two where we include a zip of the source in the wiki in addition to the SVN reference (at least I recall seeing some not too long ago). I plan to hunt them out and remove those attachments where they are already checked into svn.
everything in svn with no zipfiles in the wiki
4) More on managing source.... I think our source for the samples should mirror the source for the server in terms of branches/tags.
either move them under geronimo/server or mirror our server svn structure
5) Should we make all samples plugins? At the moment the jsp-examples, servlet-examples, and ldap-sample-app are plugins. The other 12 samples are not. I'd be in favor of creating a plugin for each and will work on doing this unless I hear objections.
good goal to have, if time permits
I'm sure there are a lot of other issues .... this is just to get the ball rolling.Joe
