File structure of Geronimo

Hi, I am looking into the Geronimo file structure and planning to document
the usage of each directories.  Could anyone explain the usage of following
directories?

<Geronimo_HOME>\etc               -->??
<Geronimo_HOME>\META-INF      -->??
<Geronimo_HOME>\var\shared     -->??


Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Thanks a lot, Kevan.

I'll update this thread again when I have any other questions upon Geronimo
file system.

etc is a directory for configuration of GShell commands

Interesting. I hadn't noticed this directory, before. It seems to be  
generated only in our Java EE 5 assemblies. I don't believe that the  
directory serves any purpose. I think it's a mistake and is some  
artifact of our build process.

var/shared/lib and var/shared/classes are the default directories that  
the Geronimo sharedlib configuration. You can use these directories to  
to easily share jar files or classes among multiple applications.  
Place jars or classes in these directories, and declare a dependency  
in your application deployment plan on the sharedlib configuration. E.g.

     <dependencies>
         <dependency>
             <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.configs</groupId>
             <artifactId>sharedlib</artifactId>
         </dependency>
     </dependencies>
