Jarek Gawor commented on GERONIMO-4394:
---------------------------------------

So all you need to do with the plugin is just install the *.exe and *.bat files 
into $GERONIMO_HOME/bin directory? If so, put these files into 
src/main/resources/bin directory and just add <copy-file 
dest-dir="bin">bin</copy-file> entry in the car-maven-plugin in your pom.xml. 
See framework/configs/plugin for an example.

> 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.
