pruning proposal

[David Jencks <da...@yahoo.com>]

I wonder if we could spend a little time thinking about stuff we might 
like to discard.

I think the geronimo itests modules are good candidates.  It would be 
great to have integration tests, but I don't think what is there is a 
good starting point.

I can't figure out what the xpom plugin is for, so I wonder if we need 
it.

We have some contributed demo apps in jira and I wonder if we would 
like to remove some of the existing demo apps and replace them with the 
new ones.

I haven't dared look in sandbox :-)

thanks

You and I are pretty much the makers of that mess... I'm fine seeing  
it go.

It's used by my crack at itests, so we won't need it if we kill them   
It makes it so you can add dependencies to a pom whenever you like  
(e.g. in maven.xml).  Nice for smushing an entire ear down to one  
project.xml, for example, as you can build the war and ejb jar in  
your maven.xml, add them as dependencies, then use the standard maven- 
ear-plugin to build the ear.

As far as clean up in general, I'd like to see us move the plugins  
out somewhere to be released individually if we can.  Same for the  
specs.
