Now we are using karaf as OSGI runtime. Karaf has its own shell which is based on RFC 139 command service. Karaf shell uses blueprint and a set of util abstract classes to provide a easy to use program model for new commands.
Geronimo 2.x has its own shell which - bases on gshell - uses groovy to define commands.(I don't kown why but I don't like this) - uses classworld to bootstrap itself - uses a serverProxy to provide geronimo server startup/stop commands. - uses JMX to invoke jsr88 implementation to provide applications deploy/undeploy/distribution commands. - uses JMX to get plugin installer GBean instance to provide plugin install and customized assemblely commands. I found that all the gshell bootstrap files in geronimo_home/etc has been removed in geronimo 3.0 framework. Is there any plan to migrate existing geronimo shell commands from gshell to karaf shell in geronimo 3.0 ? -- Shawn
