Sounds worth the time to try it out.
Two requests:
1) If this works, we publish the framework assembly instead of the
two minimal assemblies to the Download page for 2.2, as this would
allow users to build their own custom minimal server assembly (and
of course some docs telling users how to create the old minimal
assembly from this new framework assembly.)
I'm neutral or slightly +0.1 on this idea. I don't actually see how
it relates to my proposal but if everyone agrees I'm fine with this
idea.
2) If time permits, can we move or duplicate relevant testsuite
modules into a new testsuite dir under either the framework dir or a
new framework-testsuite dir, so that we can verify the basic
framework cmdline scripts and installing plugins (like Jetty/Tomcat
to make an equivalent minimal assembly)?
I like this idea. For a few months now when I work on a plugin set
(mconsole, activemq) I've included a custom server aseembly in the
plugin group and added at least one integration test. This has really
helped speed up feature development. IIUC you are proposing doing the
same for framework.

I'd like to play around with trying to make gbeans less restrictive
and possibly some classloading ideas. This would be a lot easier
if I had a smaller project to deal with. So, I'd like to make it
so that framework is self contained and builds the entire framework
server. I haven't looked at this too closely recently but I think
it involves:
moving all or part of buildsupport into framework (at least car-
maven-plugin)
moving the framework plugingroup into framework
moving the boilerplate and framework assemblies into framework.
I suggested this a few months back (sept 23 2008) and there were
some objections I didn't fully understand. Right now I'm sure this
would make my day to day development life a lot easier so if there
are objections I'd really appreciate knowing how specifically this
would make your day to day development life harder.
