----------------------------------------

Hopefully tomorrow, but I have to set up another geronimo source tree and figure out how to add more karaf stuff into geronimo first.

> As G server fundamentally turn into an OSGi based java ee application server, all libraries are required to be a OSGi bundle. But this may not work friendly to popular Java EE user.
> Let's say a simple scenario that deploys a data source to G server:
> 1. User uses install-library command or admin console to install the jdbc driver into G repository
> 2. User prepare a datasource deployment plan that depends on the installed jdbc driver
> 3. User uses deploy command or admin console to deploy the datasource
> The deployer will report a ClassNotFound exception saying jdbc driver class is not found. Java EE user may confuse around here, since they know they've installed the jdbc libraries into the repository, but why encounter the CNF exception?
> From user-friendly aspect, G server is better to provide a way to transform traditional jar into a OSGi bundle transparently.
