Folks; being in the middle of evaluating a bunch of different options (i.o.w. application servers) to serve as a future platform for most of our (both Spring and, sooner or later, EJB3 based) projects, I am just by now dealing with Geronimo 2, partly hoping for a pretty decent maven2 support in terms of deploying modules (given they're both apache projects). So far we're using tomcat 6 and codehaus' tomcat-maven-plugin [1] in order to deploy .war artifacts to remote tomcat installments (both testing and production systems). And I am curious to see whether there's something like that for geronimo (2.x), some maven2 plugin that allows for building and remote deployment of war, ear, EJB jars in a way similar to the tomcat approach. So far I just stumbled across [2] which mainly seems to deal with deploying to locally installed geronimo instances and, asides that, leaves quite a bunch of questions unanswered (including how to actually integrate these plugins with maven2 in order to build and then deploy, say, an arbitrary war artifact to a geronimo server). [3] unfortunately completely avoids talking about maven2.
Can any of the kind souls on this list enlighten me about this? Many thanks in advance, kind regards.
