Fair enough, good arguments for making it part of the default distro. I
just always think that a very lean and plain core with extensions makes
for a nice architecture. But from a product/functionality standpoint it
makes sense to include it.
However I do think a plain geoserver with no frills is something that
people might want. I could be wrong here... i would be interested in
hearing some users take on this. Perhaps we can can call it
geoserver-vanilla-bin.zip and make it another artifact.
Sure. Maybe do a blog post with a poll or something? I think it could
be of interest, though the counter point is that no one has ever asked
for it or even complained about the size of GeoServer (except for me
when I was in Africa).
If it is to be included then suggest we move it from a
community/extension module... and just into main. For one so that we
don't have to remember to build releases with the geowebcache profile,
and two it will mean that extensions we put up for download match
extensions modules in the code base.
Sure. If it's a bitch to do this week I think we might just do the
release with the profile, and be sure to move before the next release.

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.
