Server GUI manager

[Tony Blanchard <bl...@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi all,

I just coded a server manager box which can start/stop the server.
It can take one arg for the path to the conf file but also enables the 
user to select one with a file browser.

I made those changes to the apacheds/main project :
-Modifying the project.xml file to add a resource path
-Added a "res" folder under apacheds/trunk/main/src/main/java
-Added to property files under "res". These are message translation 
property files. ("msg.properties" and "msg_fr_FR.properties")
-Added a ServerMainGUI class in the org.apache.ldap.server package

I made this changes to gracefully stop the server and to make it easier 
to manage it.
As I have no rights to put those changes to SVN repository, I would like 
to ask who I can submit these changes to ? I will send files to this person.

Nevertheless, there is a bug in its usage when shutdowning the server 
because of a DIREVE bug . See the created JIRA issue DIREVE-180
I made this work by changing temporarilly the 
DefaultContextFactoryService as mentioned in issue.

Cheers,
Tony Blanchard

Hi, Tony,

We would prefer that changes are submitted to the JIRA issue-tracking 
system, attached as patches or, if small, as detailed as possible about 
the change, just like you did with DIREVE 180 and 181.  Choose the 
closest project:component:assignee, but if you're off it isn't a big 
deal.  Also, it should automatically assign to the Lead Developer for 
that project, so don't worry about that, we'll self-select there, too.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa

In this case, this appears to be a change to:
Projects : Directory Server
Component : server main
Assignee : Alex Karasulu

You can also add comments or follow progress and close the issue when 
you're satisfied with the resolution.

Thanks for getting involved.  We love to see contributions like this. 
Using issue tracking makes sure every contribution gets handled.
