Generating standalone and deployment-ready war or ear ball will make geronimo samples more easier for first try, and will improve user's use experience.
For currently generated war or ear of samples 2.1.2 release, user should supply an external deployment plan.xml to make it deployable. I think it will lead user bad use experience when first trying a simple sample war or ear ball. Of course, I believe geronimo plugin is a good stuff to try those samples, but it takes time for user to build up geronimo plugin knowledge. For an experienced JEE developer, he/she is used to consider a .ear or .war ball is a ready-to-deploy artifact. Suppose that, If they finally find they need to learn more about geronimo in order to make a simple sample's .ear or .war deployed succussfully, what feeling will they have? I think well considering user's use habit and ensuring first-try success experience is very important to attract new user to stay with our JEE server and consequently work with it. So I would suggest we add back geronimo specific deployment plan into packaged war or ear balls. What do you think of this?
