Hey Cecilia,

The biggest difference between the 2 is that the wengine-branch filemgr 
includes 
a Catalog interface for cas-catalog, as well as a small functionality update 
to allow it to stage files (for cas-pge).

That's the reason that there's a specialized cas-pge in the branch too. That, 
and 
the specialized cas-pge includes specialized met keys that you must define in 
your 
conf that are delimited by "/" instead of "_". So instead of e.g., 
PCS_FileManagerUrl 
as the property for the cas-pge file manager URL, it uses 
"/PgeTask/Query/FileManagerUrl".

You can see the diff between the 2 PGE keys by examining these two files:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/branches/wengine-branch/pge/src/main/java/org/apache/oodt/cas/pge/metadata/PGETaskMetKeys.java
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/trunk/pge/src/main/java/org/apache/oodt/cas/pge/metadata/PcsMetadataKeys.java

One other difference is that Brian wrote a customized CAS-PGE workflow 
condition as well and wired it
into the CAS-PGE framework. The other major thing is PCS file staging. 

I have a diff sitting on my desktop of new CAS-PGE stuff and plan on making 
some updates to 
remove the need for a branched cas-pge as well. It's my goal with 0.4 to remove 
the need 
for a branch, period. Folks can continue to use it, but with the knowledge that 
it's not 
as actively maintained as trunk.

See OODT-215 [1] for the whole plan. 

HTH!

Cheers,
Chris
