Subject: Big change in how geronimo/openejb is assembled and used.
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 17:31:47 -0700

As I suggested a couple of weeks ago, I've changed how assembly works 
in geronimo and openejb.  The assembly modules now produce a jar 
"distribution" that is installed in your local maven repo.  They don't 
produce a "global" target outside the assembly module.

Parallel to this, the geronimo maven deploy plugin now can unpack this 
"distribution" into a directory of your choice.  As before, the plugin 
can start geronimo, deploy applications, start configurations, stop 
configurations, undeploy configurations, and stop geronimo.

I've posted some details on the wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Running

The openejb itests are now using this.  Since I got some tests working 
I enabled them as part of the openejb build to encourage others to 
figure out what remains broken.

many thanks,
david jencks
