> 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.
