Well, geronimo contains quite a few interesting pieces. It's kind of an 
'EE-commons' project now. 

But to be honest I'm not sure about the future of Geronimo as EE server. All 
the OSGi stuff is way too complex and I personally never liked it much to have 
tons of different projects with highly different constellations on one JVM. 
This is just too complicated to maintain, too difficult to search errors (e.g. 
how to do javaagent or classreload with different openjpa versions?), freaking 
difficult to read logs, rule out deadlocks between different apps on the same 
app server, etc. This is actually not a Geronimo issue. I do see all these 
problems with big WebLogic and WebSphere installations as well (I'm doing quite 
a few huge customers). Most times it's easier to have 5 smaller servers which 
only serve a single 'application' Of course such an app could consist of 
multiple WARs, etc but they all work nicely together, use the same shared libs, 
etc. 

And in such a case all the complexity of OSGi is just unecessary overhead and 
heavy lifting.
