Grrr .... every time I hope to get a samples image up for vote I
discover (or rediscover) some issues that should be resolved.
Here are the latest issues:
- Most of the samples when run include a Geronimo header with links that
are supposed to take you to javadocs and xref for that sample. These
don't work (and from what I see I'm not sure if they were ever fully
functional). So these should probably be removed if I can't find a way
to quickly implement them.
- There are still numerous dependency versions referenced throughout the
sample poms. I think these need to be consolidated into a dependency
management section in the top level pom or perhaps move our top level
dependency from genesis to geronimo. Initially the versions were
distributed so that samples could be built independently but we now
require an initial top level build of samples.

I think most of the work has been done to get samples to a state where
they can be released. I plan to make one final push to get a release
candidate ... hopefully within a week or less. The largest things
remaining are:
1) Archetype - We need to decide what to do about this. I'm a bit torn.
I think I might leave it in there but choose to not document it for now
(unless some of the version references I had to include to make it work
start to cause a problem when attempting to release using m-r-p). If
nobody has any strong disagreement then I think we're done with
discussing the archetype.
2) Doc - As much as I hate to do doc, I'm going to work my way through
to ensure that there is some consistency in the samples doc and the old
references to obsolete geronimo deployment plans are removed. This is a
slow process (esp. if I'm the only one doing it) ... so I might push for
a release vote before I have everything updated. Doc can continue to be
worked after we release as we've been doing for server releases.
3) Revert to Genesis 1.4 if Genesis 1.5 is not released prior to the
samples release.
I'd like to have all of this wrapped up in a week or less and finally
get a version of Samples out there (even if there are warts).
