1. is there a need for the 2 tools jars to be in the same bundle as
the minimal bundle? Maybe we could use minimal + the other two jars
individually bundleized.
2. do the other jars in the minimal bundle provide generally useful
functionality?
3. how much is exposed unnecessarily if the individual jars were
bundleized?
this would be "nothing" if we had a core bundle with everything else
fragment bundles.

4. Have we approached cxf about creating the appropriate bundles
there? Its pretty unlikely we will be ready to release g 3 before
they do another release.
thanks

Hi
I am looking into "GERONIMO-5016 Enable cxf in Geronimo 3.0". There
is an issue I think need discuss first before I drive further. Not
like axis, the cxf community did not release their jars as a
bundle. Instead they made 2 separate distributions named "cxf-
bundle" and "cxf-bundle-minimal" to contain the different set of
their components. For instance:
The cxf-bundle-minimal bundle contains 17 components:
cxf-common-utilities
cxf-common-schemas
cxf-api
cxf-rt-core
cxf-rt-transports-http
cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty
cxf-rt-transports-jms
cxf-rt-bindings-soap
cxf-rt-databinding-aegis
cxf-rt-databinding-jaxb
cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws
cxf-rt-frontend-simple
cxf-rt-databinding-xmlbeans
cxf-rt-ws-security
cxf-rt-ws-policy
cxf-rt-ws-addr
cxf-rt-ws-rm
but what we need are just following 13:
cxf-api
cxf-common-utilities
cxf-rt-core
cxf-rt-bindings-xml
cxf-rt-bindings-soap
cxf-rt-databinding-jaxb
cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws
cxf-rt-frontend-simple
cxf-rt-transports-http
cxf-rt-ws-addr
cxf-rt-ws-security
cxf-tools-common
cxf-tools-java2ws
You can see the "cxf-tools-common" & "cxf-tools-java2ws" are not
included by "cxf-bundle-minimal".
The "cxf-bundle" contains all the 13 components we need, but it
will import a great many other components, which will not only
bring a lot of jobs to exclude un-necessary jars when build our cxf
plugins, but also increase the size of new G3.0.
So I see 2 ways to pull cxf bundles in:
1. Use the cxf-bundle-minimal and make a new private bundle that
contains "cxf-tools-common" & "cxf-tools-java2ws" in Geronimo.
2. Make a private cxf bundle customized by ourselves which only
contains the above 13 packages
I suggest the approach #2. Any comments?
Thanks
