Hey,
Just curious, but would the Geronimo 2 deployment plans change
tremendously on the OSGi'd Geronimo 3? If so, I assume Maven is
superceded with OSGi dependency management?

No, the Geronimo deployment plans remain the same. The information
inside the deployment plans is used to create a plugin, which in the new
world, is a bundle. The information in the deployment plans is used to
determine what dependencies need to be loaded into the OSGi framework
and how the manifest information in the generated configuration bundle
needs to be generated. Once a configuration is loaded, then the
internal classloading model is the OSGi one, but the deployment plan
metadata is used to determine how the environment is provisioned.
