I noticed that OpenEJB no longer had an assembly module in CVS. I don't know if I was missing something, or if it moved to only being "assembled" within Geronimo. If it was just removed due to complexity, I'd like to try it again in the m2 build - could someone direct me to what it should contain/produce? We built the assembly plugin for m2 based on the feedback I got from Dain in March. I'm not sure exactly what the issues are, but I'd like to ensure Maven can cover your use cases. I'd really appreciate testing out the m2 build that is there to get any feedback. We're looking to do a final release in the next couple of weeks and wouldn't want to be missing any key capabilities. Cheers, Brett
