Jeff Genender too, who has been pimping GShell to the Terracotta folks (who I've heard really dig GShell). Guillaume Nodet too for his help in gentrification of GShell to allow the codebase to work with Plexus and OSGI environments. And those of you who have committed patches (ie. Jason #2... their can be only one... hehe). Ha, its like I'm accepting an Oscar or something... /me hears the music start to play Anyways... thanks to everyone. And I really do look forward to any and all input/comments/suggestions/whatever you have to say (not that I'll like it mind you), but I value all input... aighty?

I hope, with the help, guidance and suggestions of the community, that we can sort though all of the significant issues and polish GShell off enough to make it generally mass-consumable by applications (like ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, and other sister server-orient projects which need a sophisticated command-line interface for administration, configuration, whatever). This version of GShell was inspired a little (okay... a lot) by the work I've done on the Groovy projects 'groovysh' command-line tool ( http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Shell ). Actually working on 'groovysh' really helped me to figure out many things w/GShell... and maybe one day Groovy's 'groovysh' will actually use GShell as a framework, though there is a bit of work left in the core to make that a reality. For folks that haven't use my new 'groovysh', you can easily have a look by using the 'groovy-maven- plugin', as in: mvn groovy:shell You'll notice a lot of similarities between 'groovysh' and 'gsh' I'm sure. * * * While working on this release I've come to realize that GShell and Maven2 are very similar creatures... which I'll elaborate on more in the future... but because of that significant functionality which is already implemented in Maven2 is 90% (or sometimes more) compatible with the direction GShell is headed towards. For example, one feature alpha-2 will have is to allow command plugins to define 'dependencies' just as a Maven project does now. And GShell can be configured (a bit more flexibly than Maven ATM) for how to find those dependencies (in a local repo, in a remote repo, in some uber-jar, etc). This will all leverage the maturing Maven2 codebase. So in some ways GShell will grow with Maven2 as they both become more and more functional, stable, reliable... and well ass-kicking no doubt. Um... crap, I'm e-babbling again; sorry. So, lets vote and push this puppy out already... ?! +1 Oh ya, come on baby... you know you want it +0 Um... I don't know what is wrong with batch personally, can't we just use that? -1 I like cheese, cheese makes me happy... but damn it cheese won't let me remotely administer my application... wtf, no way... WAIT So, its Friday evening, 6ish PST... so lets say _sometime_ on Tuesday the 25th I'll call the vote. That is a little more than 72 hours... so get your #2 pencils out and shake what your mother gave ya... --jason
