> Here's a prototype offline deploy tool.  It has only one command, for offline distribution of applications.  It's basically a clone of the online tool so it works in a similar way, but for the distribute-offline command it uses a hacked version of the packaging plugin's PackageBuilder class to start a kernel, load some configurations, and then call the deployer.
> It has one serious bug at the moment: it doesn't switch between tomcat and jetty.  Not sure why, but I can look into it more.
> It has some missing features:
>  - it should get dependencies from somewhere (maybe download them from an online Maven repo)
>  - it should be able to manipulate config.xml
>  - it needs more commands (at least undistribute)
>  - it needs to allow the user to specify the config-store to write to
> There's probably a lot of unused code there, too, since I haven't figured out what everything does yet.  But it's a start.
> You can use it like the online tool.  The jar is $GERONIMO_HOME/bin/offline.jar.
