[QPID-1754] QMF Agent bin packaging

[Martin Ritchie <ri...@apache.org>]

Hi Ted & Bryan,

Great to see the QMF addition on the Java side.

I was wondering how you run it? There is no bin directory in the
package (which causes 'ant release-bin' to fail) but the build.xml has
a new property module.main which is your Main class.

Do you have some additional tooling that you use to run the Java QMF Agent?

Would be good to ensure that we sort out the packaging now rather than
when we are trying to perform the 0.6 release as a number of
components failed to be packaged for 0.5 as there was not time to sort
it out.

I know we had the discussion about where to put the code, I had
thought that the consensus was to keep the directory structure as it
is which I took to mean putting the new Qpid Management Agent in the
management directory?

Regards

Martin

Martin:

I have been assuming it would be embedded in an IOC container. I have 
some instructions for JBoss here:

http://kearneyville.com/2009/06/12/accessing-jboss-session-beans-from-python-using-qmf/

which I would be willing to turn into wiki doco if you like. My hope is 
to get the jboss deployer in "real soon" which will bring up another 
packaging discussion.. where to put container specific code?

I will open a bug and submit a patch about moving the agent into 
management. Is that the preferred directory name?
