Joe Bohn commented on GERONIMO-3728:
------------------------------------

I basically used the org.apache.geronimo prefix when implementing the expert mode choices to prevent users from accidentally shooting themselves in the foot by stopping or uninstalling these applications by accident.

I actually had a patch to filter the system contents a long, long time ago (before I became a committer). The powers at the time didn't think that the function was appropriate or necessary. I basically hid all of the system modules and had a selection the user could choose to only show them on demand. I'm sure there are other ways to implement this but thought a little bit of history might be useful. Here's the original JIRA: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-922

> Currently, out of the box, there are enough installed apps that require scrolling to browse them all. 
> It would improve visibility if we can reduce the amount of info displayed on the first screen. Listing just application "names" and status while providing links to app details would help. Adding check boxes for commands will help too allowing performing the same command on multiple apps.
