Hi, I have been looking at c-m-p plugin and geronimo plugin with no module-id today, as David reminded me in the other thread about this function. I'd like to use this function for the custom server assembly stuff I am working on, as it is similar as groups of plugins I was initially proposing. It looks like we do have code to handle module-id = null in plugin metadata, but i have not been successful in creating a geronimo plugin that doesn't have a module-id using c-m-p. is this possible w/ the current c-m-p? Anyone has an example on this type of geronimo plugin? Would this type of plugin just contain a META-INF directory with geronimo-plugin.xml in the directory?
I'm not sure how much sense it makes to use the c-m-p to generate a geronimo-plugin.xml with no moduleId. IIRC the original idea (from Aaron) was to just have the entry in the plugin catalog. Without a moduleId you can't put it in the maven repo (IMO). So, maybe we do want a moduleId but make it so nothing gets into any config.xml???
I've started to wonder if we should distribute the geronimo-plugin.xml files as attached artifacts with a geronimo-plugin classifier so they are more readily available as plain files.
still thinking..... david jencks
Thanks, Lin
