I could see where this could be a useful feature, for users just developing apps on Geronimo and not interested in debugging Geronimo problems or providing patches. When we publish releases, we include a source zipfile, so it's there is they want it.

I would start a discussion thread on the user@ list and give people a chance to respond before removing this from GEP 2.2...

If I were going to debug Geronimo with eclipse, I would check out the
source code and use that.  In fact, isn't that what we tell users at
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/developing-geronimo-in-eclipse.html ?
I wouldn't use a zip of the geronimo source.  Again, do we need to
support this function?  I think this is a very rare and not too useful
case.  It is an extra screen that most users would not be interested
in, and only adds confusion.

Yes it is for debugging the Geronimo source code. I haven't used it in some
time, but I "think" that it used to work. I'll try it again just to verify
since it's been so long....... If I get it to work, I'll update the
documentation accordingly.....

Is it for debugging purpose? So that people can step in Geronimo source

   Now that you mention it...  I have never done anything with this
   screen.  I am not even sure what it is for.  Can we remove this screen
   from the define server dialog?
