Hi Michal, Some ideas about container start/stop and application packaging:
* The Cactus project is currently starting/stopping/configuring several containers (Orion, Resin, JBoss, WebLogic, Tomcat, etc). We have recognized that this is not Cactus specific and are slowly working towards externalizing this (we're lacking time ATM unfortunately). * We would potentially like to start a jakarta-commons project, whose goal would be to provide an "API" for starting/stopping containers and then provide an "SPI" for the different containers. Maybe another project in jakarta-commons would be in charge of generating completely configured applications (including directory structure and config files for a given app server) * Obviously this project would implement the upcoming JSR (117 or something like that - Not sure if this JSR is only about deployment or if it also about starting/stopping containers) * Anyway, we believe it is better to implement this in a commons project rather than in a Maven plugin as an important feature is that it should be able to start/stop containers from different front ends (Maven, Ant, Eclipse, etc). * ATM, the way Cactus implements container start/stop and application packaging is using Ant. This allows us to reuse the Ant scripts from the Maven plugin, from Ant (of course) and also from our Eclipse plugin (which internally calls Ant). I'm curious to know what others think?
