Creating or modifying deployment plans is quite often a real nightmare. Usually you try to find a sample to adopt from. If only the samples were current ..
So I suggest to include all samples (from http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSAMPLES/index.html) that are supposed to run on a given Geronimo version in the archive of the Geronimo distribution itself or in an archive immediately beside it (right now there is a Download Sample applications link, but it does not point to a sample.tar.gz as the title hints). And, most important, it should be guaranteed that automatically deploying and testing the samples was part of the build process that built the Geronimo distribution. The Weblogic server installation package does contain a sample directory tree. I created http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4281 for this. Thanks, Juergen BTW: I think JEE V10.0 should totally dispense with XML descriptors and have all properties in compiled class files. Generating them is as easy as hitting CTRL-S in Eclipse and the Java compiler can check lots of things which the XML editor does not. Java code you can even remote-debug. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Include-samples-into-Geronimo-download-packages-tp19332316s134p19332316.html Sent from the Apache Geronimo - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
