Hi,

Just seen the link on the top of the download page..

I'm a beginner with TomEE (Comming from WebSphere v8.5) and I'm sure I've
not yet discovered all the features of TomEE

Here my 2 cents about TomEE:

- logging is a real mess with TomEE. I've read somewhere that it will be
better in v2.0, let's op that there will be a unique central place to
configure logging and IMHO slf4j is the way to go as it can "capture" what
is produced by all the other known log engines and have a simple way to
capture everythiong in one file (or 2, one for the server, one per app)

- there should be a "standard" place (not /lib! /libuser?) to place user
libs (database drivers, new implementation of some component etc..)
automatically placed in front of the server classpath

- also there should be a way to "deactivate" some jars currently in /lib,
eg I want to come with a new version of slf4j and "deactivate"
slf4j-jdk14-1.7.5 present in /lib, currently we have to "delete" the jars
in /lib

For the web site:

- Should it be possible in the download page to have a link to the current
snapshot version (v1.7 currently) ?

- Should it be possible in the tomee/tomee+.. comparison page to show the
version of the components. Yes I can look elsewhere for what version is
included in the JEE6 standard..but it will be handy to see on this page
that TomEE v1.6 contains JSF v2.1 with MyFaces v2.1.13 as implementation

- For beginners, it is not that easy to start with TomEE (and also with
tomat): Ffrom very basic things (what "*.bat" script to use to start the
server tomee.bat? startup.bat? catalinat.bat?), to more complex:  where to
declare datasources for my apps? The ddocumentation is particularly opaque
on this. In a file named context.xml? resources.xml? placed where in
WEB-INF? on the server? etc.. A simple JSF/CDI/EJB/JPA (With derby as it
comes with the JDK) example app should be helpful here, with logging
configured, the config files and extra jars at the right/recommended  place
etc

Thanx for the great job on TomEE!

BTW: Where/how can I download TomEE v2.0 currently in dev?
