Jarek Gawor commented on GERONIMO-4394:
---------------------------------------
I committed the patch to trunk (revision 728200) and branches/2.1 (revision
728203). I modified the patch slightly: 1) I changed the batch script to
display JRE_HOME instead of JAVA Runtime to match the other scripts and since
really $JRE_HOME will be used anyway, and 2) I dropped the 'osservice' module
and just put 'procrun' module directly under plugins. Thanks for the patch!
Also, I think it would be great to have some instructions (like a README file
in svn or somewhere) how to exactly recreate the exe file. Can you provide that
info if possible?

> 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.
