                 Key: GERONIMO-4950
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4950
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: console
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Chi Runhua
            Priority: Minor


1. re-constructure the navigation tree to make it collapsible, the tree level 
should be less than 3;
2. re-orginize the avaliable tree items into new groups, here is a sample list 
for implementation:
 + Servers
  + Application Server
   - Geronimo Kernel (put Information, Java System Info, Thread Pool and 
Shutdown portlets in the same page here)
   - Web Server
   - JMS Server
   - EJB Server
   - DB server
   - Repository
   - New server assembly
+ Applications
 - Deploy New (Suggest to merge in the plan creator, so that users can either 
choose to use an existing plan file, or create a new one using the wizard)
 - User applications (merge WAR, EAR and Client, maybe bundles in the 3.0?)
 - Server plugins
+ Resources
 - DB pools
 - JMS resources
 - JEE Connectors
 - Jar Aliases
+ Security
 - Users and Groups
 - Keystores
 - Certificate Authority
 - Security Realms
+ Monitoring and Troubleshotting
 - Monitoring
 - Logs
 - Debug Views
 
3. re-construct the available portlets to improve embedded assistance 
information, for example, show breadcrum when user is working on a task; reduce 
in-line text on the current UI, and use hover-help or pop-up help page only 
when necessary etc...
4. for the long list on the current UI such as system modules, only show the 
most frequently used ones, use locate/find to display more....
