Chi Runhua updated GERONIMO-4950:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
1. re-structure the navigation tree to make it collapsible, the tree level should be less than 3;
2. re-organize the available tree items into new groups, here is a sample list for implementation:
* Application Server
 ** Geronimo Kernel (put Information, Java System Info, Thread Pool and Shutdown portlets in the same page here)
 ** Web Server
 ** JMS Server
 **  EJB Server
 **  Derby server
 ** New server assembly
 * Applications
 ** Deploy New (Suggest to merge in the plan creator, so that users can either choose to use an existing plan file, or create a new one using the wizard)
 ** User applications (merge WAR, EAR and Client, maybe bundles in the 3.0?)
 ** Plugins
* Resources
 ** DB pools
 ** JMS Resources
 ** J2EE Connectors
 ** Jar aliases
 ** Repository
* Security
 ** Users and Groups
 ** Keystores
 ** Certificate Authority
 ** Security Realms
* Monitoring and Troubleshooting
 ** Monitoring
 ** Logs(Include server logs and Derby log)
 ** Debug Views
 *** JMX Viewer
 *** Classloader Viewer
 *** JNDI Viewer
 *** Dependency Viewer
 
3. re-construct the available portlets to improve embedded assistance information, for example, show breadcrum when user is working on a task; reduce in-line text on the current UI, and use hover-help or pop-up help page only when necessary etc...
4. for the long list on the current UI such as system modules, only show the most frequently used ones, use locate/find to display more....

{color:red}*Risks*{color} to be noticed for UI changes:
1. Doc
2. Testsuite especially for Selenium test script, if any.
