Press Release for 2.0.1
Now that we've gotten through the issues that stalled 2.0 we have a
successful vote and I've updated the Press Release as well with
version information.
This should be pretty good as it was the mostly approved version
before the security problem.
Please review and perhaps the PRC can comment on their timings so we
can get in sync.
Thanks
===== DRAFT =====
Apache Geronimo Version 2.0.1 released by Apache Software Foundation
date/time/location—The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) announced
today the release of Apache Geronimo Version 2.0.1 (http://
geronimo.apache.org <http://geronimo.apache.org/>). This release
represents the latest open source Java Enterprise Edition 5.0
application server from the Apache Geronimo project, and continues
the evolution of the Apache Geronimo server by adding new features
and capabilities to a fully compliant and certified Java Enterprise
Edition container suitable for everything from a development
environment to enterprise-level deployments.
The newly released Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 breaks new ground as the
first Open Source Application Server to provide two certified JAX-WS
Web Services implementations: Apache Axis2 and Apache CXF. This
capability further highlights the flexibility of Apache Geronimo
which also provides two certified Web Container implementations:
Apache Tomcat and Jetty.
Geronimo 2.0 also introduces new features such as simplified
development, improved diagnostics and flexible assemblies. Simplified
deployment is achieved through the use of standards based programming
model enhancements found in Java Enterprise Edition 5.0. This
includes support for the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 specification
as implemented by the Apache OpenEJB and Apache OpenJPA projects.
Here is a list of some of these programming enhancements:
- Streamlined development options provided with Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0
- EJB 3.0 persistence
- A programming model that uses annotations to express developer
defaults in the source code
Improved diagnostic capabilities include enhanced logging, class
loader viewer as well as JMX browser which are all available from the
web based console. Change logging levels on the fly as well as view
existing logs with a set of filters. Looking for a class and
wondering where it came from? The class loader viewer let’s you find
them. Want to see or change the attributes for MBeans in the
server? The JMX browser allows you to navigate the MBeans in the
server in a simple tree format without having to hook up external
consoles or third party products.
Flexible assemblies are realized through the project’s continued
promotion of the ”Little G” Version 2.0—a lightweight container
offering for projects that don’t need the full feature set of Java
Enterprise Edition 5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA deployments,
"Little G" brings the modularity, manageability and extensibility of
Apache Geronimo to a lightweight assembly that is small in footprint
but full of capability.
This flexible, user-friendly, and easy-to-configure application
server is built from best-of-breed open source components and is
fully licensed under the Apache Software License, offering multiple
benefits to organizations and their development teams. They can use
Apache Geronimo as-is or, if they so choose, create their own custom
offerings without the restrictions imposed by other Open Source
licenses. Flexibility and choice, you have both with Apache Geronimo.
The software can be downloaded for free from the Apache Geronimo web
site ( http://geronimo.apache.org <http://geronimo.apache.org/>/ ).

I'd change it to "Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (EJB3) specification".

Although it's correct, I'd use JPA rather than the above term.

Would "Configuration by Exception" make it any better? It's a well
recognized term so we could leverage it.

Looks good to me with one possible exception.
This:
"In addition, the Certification Authority portlet lets you setup a
Certification Authority, your own Public-Key Infrastructure, very easily
and use server/client Digital Certificates for securing your applications."
doesn't read quite right ... how about this?:
"In addition, the Certification Authority portlet provides a user
friendly interface to setup a Certification Authority, your own
Public-Key Infrastructure, and use server/client Digital Certificates
for securing your applications."

Can we add a line or two about the the Certification Authority? I guess
Geronimo is unique in this regard.
"Certification Authority portlet lets you setup a Certification Authority,
your own Public-Key Infrastructure, very easily and use server/client

Flexible assemblies are realized through the project's continued
> promotion of the "Little G" Version 2.0—a lightweight container
> offering for projects that don't need the full feature set of Java
> Enterprise Edition 5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA deployments,
> "Little G" brings the modularity, manageability and extensibility of
> Apache Geronimo to a lightweight assembly that is small in footprint
> but full of capability.
