GEP version blues
My environment: Helios with Geronimo 2.1.6 and 2.2.1.
My problem: Which GEP version to choose?
Each version seems to have their own serious problem:
GEP 2.1.x doesn't support 2.2.1 as far as I know.
GEP 2.2 have problems editing openejb-jar.xml
GEP 3.0 fails to deploy EARs to Geronimo 2.2.1
The obvious solution is likely to be GEP 2.2.1. but unfortunately it isn't
released yet.
We started a project this summer using Geronimo 2.2 but had to switch to
2.1.x due to a couple of serious bugs in 2.2. Now when 2.2.1 is out we wan't
to switch to it checking for compatibility etc. To ease this process we need
support for both 2.1.6 and 2.2.1 in the same environment.

I believe that Janet is preparing a GEP 2.2.1 release. You could try building the current source in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/eclipse-plugin/branches/2.2 and verify that this works for you.

Hello Kevan, hello Hang,
I started a discussion on that issue in March. See http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@geronimo.apache.org/msg77363.html
Unfortunately I did not have time later on to continue to do something on that issue, but I still think, it is still an issue. I think it should always only be necessary to have one stable and one parallel version together, whereas the stable version supports all versions released so far.
Currently, when you install GEP in geronimo, you have to know exactly which Geronimo version you'll develop for; At the moment you have also some stuff [G 2.1.1 (Jetty/Tomcat) Runtime, Geronimo Core Feature] on the install-repositories which is IMHO not longer used. Additionally there are server-adapters for Geronimo v1.0/v.1.1.x/v.2.0/v2.1/v.2.2 and v.3.0, where some cover versions below, too, but not all.
In reality it should be enough to have a v1.1 - v.2.2 Server Adapter there (which should support all Versions up to G 2.2 and possibly an unstable version of the adapter which supports also the most recent development releases.
However, this would be some work which somebody would have to do... But it could also make thinks simpler, when only a head and one stable-branch must be serviced.

GEP 2.2 supports geronimo server 2.1.6, and will be upgraded to server 2.1.7
in GEP 2.2.1 release.
The source codes ( 2.1.7 server upgrade code is in ) are in
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/eclipse-plugin/branches/2.2
now.
You can try to build it and have a try if it solves your deployment problem.
Or you can wait some days until GEP 221 release goes live.

My openejb-jar.xml problems was a false alarm, the problem was facet related
and probably due to some stupid interaction between Maven, Eclipse and
Perforce, it works now.
GEP 2.2 still have serious issues as it doesn't work well with recent 2.1
servers. (It is unable to deploy to them)

For this problem, can you open a JIRA in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS, and describe the
problem details. So it can be considerred in GEP 2.2.1 release.
