Run Geronimo as a Windows service out of box
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-4394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4394
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: commands
         Environment: Windows platforms
            Reporter: Jack Cai


Although there is already an option provided by the Java Service Wrapper, some 
users are more interested in seeing something similar to what is provided by 
Tomcat. Provided that we can easily take the technology from Tomcat 
(http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html), I'm keen to implement this 
same thing for Geronimo. The advantage of using Apache Commons procrun is that -

 1. Out-of-box experience, no need to download and install a third party 
component;
 2. Tray icon that further improves usability.

Eventually we would think to provide this "run as a service" capability for 
Linux/Unix platforms, but Windows would be a good start.
