It is proposed to accompany Geronimo with ongoing and consistent project to port its code to Mainframe (z/OS) Unix Services where Java2 JVM exists, being strategically developed by IBM and it is utilized by WebSphere for z/OS.
I will like to undertake this contribution - produce OpenSource J2EE for yet another platform, z/OS. The port to z/OS will take the Unix variant of Geronimo (packaging, scripts) and will be targetted to full incubation of Geronimo in z/OS Unix Services & JVM technology. It should provide ongoing feedback to Geronimo team to keep the deliverables z/OS Unix compliant. By end of day - each release shouldrun on z/OS and be accopanied by an OpenSource IDE (Eclipse) to consist a full development/deployment/J2EE container for z/OS. As previous IBMer - I know IBMis serious contributor to Open Source on one side - and actively supports porting code/solutions/products to z/OS Unix+Java platform Please respond copy to me, Shmuel Koller
