What do you mean by an artifact with gwc baked in? Like a set of binary
downloads that geoserver+gwc-1.7.0?
I think it makes sense to start including gwc directly in the default
release, not forcing people to download a separate jar and plug it in.
For one the KML super overlay code relies on it directly. And
eventually I'd like to make it so our layer preview uses gwc directly -
with it automatically killing the cache when you change the config or
the style or do a transaction. Then geoserver will always tile things by
default, which I think is a huge win.
It should be kept as a separate module, but I think it should be
included in the release. I see it as more on the level of like WCS, a
service that should ship by default. Eventually we may make a slimmed
down release, but for now we already include the kitchen sink.

Hi Arne,
How do you want to go about including it? Like baking it directly into
the release? I myself would like extensions to be kept as extensions,
downloadable separately. However I am all for including an additional
artifact with gwc "baked" in.

Hi,
for the upcoming RC release of GeoServer 1.7.x we would really like to
include the GeoWebCache module to demonstrate new superoverlay
functionality (for Google Earth and other KML clients).
Does anyone object / feel we need to go through a more formal process?
It does not modify code in GeoServer, the memory footprint is tiny and
it uses HTTP to communicate with the core. If invoked, it creates a
"gwc" folder in the data directory or the temp directory.
