Adding new features can be done using the install-plugin option for the
deploy tool. Directions on how to use this tool for v1.1.1, including the
install-plugin option, can be found here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC11/deployer-tool.html
You can obtain the administration console plugin from both
www.geronimoplugincentral.org and www.geronimoplugins.org
Hope this helps!

Re: geronimo 1.1.1 lite
Posted by David Jencks <da...@yahoo.com>.
I recommend starting with geronimo trunk, or the (hopefully) soon to
be released 2.1. Check out the project from svn and build it using
maven. This will set up your local maven repository to be a geronimo
plugin repository.
To add plugins to a small geronimo server, such as geronimo-framework:
1. unpack geronimo-framework-2.1-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz (or zip) in a
convenient place.
2. in one console window start it using ./bin/gsh geronimo/start-server
3. in another console window (also in ${geronimo.home) run ./bin/gsh
deploy/list-plugins
Pick the local maven repo (its the only one shown)
This will list all the plugins in the local maven repo; pick the ones
you want (for instance the base console).
If you use the car-maven-plugin to "predeploy" your apps to geronimo
your apps will be in your local g. repo as plugins as well, so you
can use this procedure to include them in a server.
To extract a server containing a set of plugins from an existing server:
1. start the existing server
2. in a separate console window run for example
./bin/gsh deploy/assemble -g org.foo -a test -v 1.0-SNAPSHOT
where org.foo is the groupId you want for your server
test is the artifactId
1.0-SNAPSHOT is the version
Pick the plugins you want and the server will be assembled in var/
temp. You must include the " Geronimo Configs :: Boilerplate (2.1-
SNAPSHOT)" plugin which is under Geronimo Core.
The assemble feature is new today so please let us know of any bugs.
thanks
