------------------------------------------------
Hi Francisco, it's interesting that you've requested this functionality. You
might have noticed the greyed-out button in the Test Environment section of the
server adapter properties page labeled: "Run modules directly from workspace"
(you can see it in the first screenshot that you've attached). That button is
meant to provide the capability to run deployed modules directly from the
Eclipse workspace rather than the Geronimo repository, which is pretty much
what you are asking for since you could then switch workspaces at will and not
"contaminate" the common Geronimo server installation from any of the
workspaces you use.
Unfortunately though that button is greyed-out because it hasn't been fully
implemented. I'm not exactly sure why not but I would guess because it hasn't
been a high-priority requirement from many users. Also, it may be there that
there just haven't been too many GEP users/developers who use multiple Eclipse
workspaces with a common Geronimo installation. In any case, I'll do the
initial analysis to see what is required to fully implement this function since
obviously it's important to you.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.....

> When doing development of several independent applications over the Geronimo,
> that Geronimo installation gets contaminated by those applications
> If I create workspaces1, and inside it I create dynamic webproject 1, and run
> it on Geronimo, then I switch to workspace2, and create dynamic webproject 2,
> and run it on Geronimo, since it is the same Geronimoinstance, both dynamic
> webproject 1 and dynamic webproject 2 will start (and there is no way, from
> inside eclipse to undeploy dynamic webproject 1 unless I go back to
> workspaces1 and undeploy it.
> But, if one is working with Tomcat, there is no problem, applications do not
> "contaminate" the shared Tomcat, why is that? well the Tomcat WTP Adapter has
> a configuration option enabled by default under "Server Location", that
> reads: "Use workspace metadata (does not modify Tomcat installation)". I
> would like to have an option like that for Geronimo.
