I agree Option 1 is fine. And it won't bother too much if it's just one node added to the existing tree (now that we have the expand/collapse feature in the navigation tree).

For example, the deploy new portlet can be enabled to accept OSGi-based app deployment. -Jack 2010/1/27 Delos <[email protected]> > Since G 3.0 adopts OSGI framework, it's reasonable for user to know the > bundle information if need.
