To clarify this even further: The Geronimo Server is now officially dead. But the Geronimo project is not. It alredy contains quite a few modular parts which are reused in many ASF projects and also outside. Examples is the geronimo-transaction-manager, geronimo-javamail, geronimo-config, xbean-finder, etc
Of course it would probably make sense to fold those 2 projects together, as already discussed in the past. I'm still all open to it, but I have an important criterium to fulfil: If we move those portable parts to TomEE, then this would mean that TomEE would become an 'Umbrella project'. And further that we would need a new name for those portable parts. They would effectively be mainatained by the TomEE community (which has a big overlap with Geronimo anyway) but those parts must clearly be recognized separately from TomEE. Otherwise people will assume that those parts only work within TomEE - where in reality they would even work on WildFly or Liberty, etc. or even a naked Tomcat. Got me? We might e.g. brand them as 'TomEE Geronimo Spare Parts Department' :) LieGrue, strub PS: I'd also love to keep the org.apache.geronimo package name to ease backward compatibility. > Am 02.02.2018 um 11:08 schrieb Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibu...@gmail.com>: > > 2018-02-02 11:05 GMT+01:00 Otávio Gonçalves de Santana < > osant...@tomitribe.com>: > >> Guys, I have a question: >> >> Why not a project to each implementation? >> > > this is the case but geronimo is used as an umbrella project. > > >> This way I can use just a specific if I want also. >> > > exactly the goal and user usage AFAIK ;) > > long story short: we learnt from the past errors and since always the same > people work on these projects it is better to not split it accross N > communities since > it leads to a lot of efforts for these people.
