It isn't? It's not a snapshot release. I certainly consider it the
only reasonable way to start/use 2.2.

I'd rather use the GShell offspring in Karaf than bolt yet another
set of warts onto the 3.0 server. Also, we need to keep one of the
original goals of minimize server install and runtime footprint in
mind, which having 2 shell environments wouldn't....

Now we are using karaf as OSGI runtime. Karaf has its own shell

Geronimo 2.x has its own shell which

like this)

commands.

deploy/undeploy/distribution 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 ?
I don't believe there's any plan to migrate away from gshell to
using the karaf shell (at least yet). I'm a little concerned about
breaking any custom commands/scripts that may have been written for
prior Geronimo releases, so there's a bit of a balancing act
involved here. I suspect we might want to explore keeping the
existing geronimo shell, but see if it is possible for it to invoke
commands built using the Karaf infrastructure. This would allow us
to reuse existing Karaf commands and allow new commands to be
written using the Karaf programming model.
