Hello,
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion regarding the removal of the Verifier
engine from Geronimo and creating a seperate Jakarta project focusing only on
the verification of J2EE based archives (app server independent).
-1.
IMHO it should just be another module (Maven project) inside Geronimo - part of the same community but usable by itself. Geronimo should be useable as a whole J2EE stack or the parts should be useable by themselves too.

Agreed. This should go into Geronimo. Perhaps at a *much* later date if there is a better place for it to live we can evaluate it then.
We can still keep things modular & manage dependencies nicely within the Geronimo project - we've already got a modular build. So Verifier would have its own Maven build. e.g.
geronimo/ modules/ verifier/ src/ java/ test/
etc.
We've already 3 modules in CVS to give you the idea.
A minor note, that the package for this module should be org.apache.geronimo.verifier, I should update the standards page with this... but still have like 80 more emails to dig through ;-)
