I worry we'd not get anything other than 1/ done by tomorrow and even then the READMEs etc would have bugs. So my preference would be for 0.99 do 1/ for the big webapps but keep the small prebuilt ones. The big ones are: demo-allert-aggregator.war demo-mortgage-creditcheck.war sample-helloworld-ws-sdo-webapp.war sample-helloworld-ws-service-webapp.war sample-calculator-webapp-ws.war Thats minimum changes to what we have today, just 5 readme updates, and gives a distro size of less the 60Meg. For 1.0 do: - change samples to be simple contribution jar's that can work in all of standalone, webapp distro, Geronimo - maybe keep one existing webapp sample to demonstrate that style of packaging - fix the ClassLoader issues so that Tomcat deep integration works well and have a sample/documentation for deep integration That should give a 1.0 distro size of less than 50Meg. Note also, i'd like to cut the 0.99 branch and create RC1 in about 9 hours so if anyone wants to go for something other than this for 0.99 thats fine by me but it needs to start getting done pretty smartly :) ...ant
