+
+Updated Information
+-------------------
+Please see http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/release-notes-202txt.html for the
+latest information on this release.
+
+
+System Requirements
+-------------------
+You need a platform that supports the Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5.0+). Other Java VMs
+should work as well.
+
+Most testing has been done on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
+
+
+Significant Changes in the 2.0.2 Release
+----------------------------------------
+
+- MEJB security issue fixed
+ * Access to the Maintenance EJB (MEJB) is now controlled by the mejb-read (read access)
+ and mejb-admin (read/write access) groups.
+
+- Changes in the default JNDI names for EJB's
+ * The default JNDI names generated for EJB's has been simplified. Environments reliant
+ on the default JNDI names generated by Geronimo 2.0.1 will not work with Geronimo 2.0.2
+ For information on the new format, see http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/client-jndi-names.html
+
+- Updated CA (Certification Authority) Helper on the Geronimo Administration Console
+ * Certificate requests and downloads are now supported using Internet Explorer
+
+- Multiple bug fixes
+ * A number of issues are resolved by Geronimo 2.0.2. A summary of issues is provided below.
+
+
+Certification Status
+--------------------
+Apache Geronimo v2.0 have passed 100% SUN's Java Enterprise Edition 5.0
+Certification Test Suite. See "Distributions" for further details.
+
+
+Distributions
+-------------
+Apache Geronimo v2.0 is available in five distributions so you can pick the
+one that better fits your environment.
+
+The available distributions are as follows:
+
+Certified distributions:
+- Apache Geronimo with Tomcat web container, AXIS2 for Web Services and OpenJPA
+ for persistence.
+- Apache Geronimo with Jetty web container, CXF for Web Services and OpenJPA
+ for persistence.
+
+Non-Certified distributions:
+- Little-G with Tomcat web container, minimal configuration.
+- Little-G with Jetty web container, minimal configuration.
+- Micro-G, stripped down Geronimo pluggable framework.
+
+Note: Non-Certified distributions do not contain a complete JavaEE5 stack and so
+cannot be certified. Certified distributions can be reconfigured by the user
+(such as Tomcat web container with CXF for Web Services).
+
+Supported features
+------------------
+All programming model elements of the Java EE 5.0 Specification are available.
+Some of the non-specification related elements such as clustering are still
+being worked on.
+
+Building Geronimo
+-----------------
+See http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/building-apache-geronimo.html for information
+about building Geronimo 2.0.2 from source
+
+Installing & Starting Geronimo
+------------------------------
+To install, simply unpack the .zip (Windows) or tar.gz (Unix) file containing
+Geronimo.
+
+If you wish to modify the default ports that Geronimo will use, edit the file
+<geronimo_home>/var/config/config-substitutions.properties
+
+Geronimo comes with batch and script files to control server start and stop
+functions. To see usage examples simply type geronimo.bat or geronimo.sh
+command as appropriate for your platform. It is necessary to set JAVA_HOME to
+the copy of your Sun 5 JDK/JRE prior to executing the command.
+
+Here is an example to set JAVA_HOME:
+
+export JAVA_HOME=<JDK/JRE_home>
+
+To see the available command options type:
+
+<geronimo_home>/bin/geronimo.sh
+or
+<geronimo_home>\bin\geronimo.bat
+
+The command will display help text instructing you as to how to start and stop
+the Geronimo server.
+
+If you prefer to start the server without a script file you can simply type the
+following command from <geronimo_home> directory:
+
+java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib/endorsed -javaagent:bin/jpa.jar -jar bin/server.jar
+
+Once the server has started, you can access the Geronimo Administration Console
+at http://localhost:8080/console/ . The default user name is "system" and the
+default password is "manager".
+
+Note for Windows platforms:
+Windows users keep in mind the directory path length limitation of 255 characters.
+Defaulting installation to predefined directories such as "My Documents" or
+"Program Files" may cause the installation or the server start up to fail. Try a
+<geronimo_home> at a root level instead.
+
+Security Configuration
+----------------------
+The default administration user/password for the Geronimo Administration Console
+and command line deployment tool is system/manager. You can change these defaults
+directly from the Geronimo Administration Console by accessing Security -> Console
+Realm and change the user name and password from the Console Realm Users portlet.
+
+As an alternative, you can make the same changes by editing the
+<geronimo_home>/var/security/users.properties and
+<geronimo_home>/var/security/groups.properties files.
+
+Access to the var/security directory should be appropriately secured on systems where
+you install Geronimo.
+
+Passwords in users.properties are encrypted by the server. Passwords can be changed
+using the Geronimo Administration Console. They can also be changed using a text
+editor. While the server is stopped, simply edit the users.properties file. The
+password(s) will be encrypted the next time the server is started.
+
+To prevent potential security exposures, we strongly recommend you update the
+default user names and passwords on your system.
+
+To enable MEJB access, you will need to configure either an mejb-user or
+mejb-admin group. To enable read/write MEJB access to the 'system' user,
+add the following to <geronimo_home>/var/security/groups.properties file:
+
+mejb-admin=system
+
+Deploying Applications
+----------------------
+Geronimo comes with deploy scripts and batch files to deploy J2EE modules or
+applications. You can use the scripts or simply invoke the executable jar by
+running the following command (note that you need to start Geronimo first):
+
+<geronimo_home>/bin/java -jar deployer.jar deploy my-web-app.war [deploy plan]
+
+You will need to use the username "system" and password "manager" unless you
+customized those as described above. The deployment plan argument is
+optional -- you can pack a deployment plan into the application module, provide
+it on the command line, or in some cases omit it entirely.
+
+You can also use the "Login" command to avoid entering a user name and password
+every time you use the deploy tool
+
+For more information on the commands and options supported by the deploy tool,
+run from within the Geronimo directory <geronimo_home>/bin:
+
+java -jar deployer.jar help [command]
+
+You can also graphically deploy applications and resources via the Geronimo
+Administration Console available at http://localhost:8080/console/
+
+
+Other Deployment Options
+------------------------
+As an alternative to the command-line deployer, you can copy application
+modules into the <geronimo_home>/deploy/ directory and the
+hot deployer service will deploy them automatically. The command-line deployer
+has some advantages, as it will output any
+deployment errors to its own console rather than just the server log.
+
+Additionally, Geronimo provides a Maven plugin that can deploy applications to
+Geronimo as part of a Maven build.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+Most configuration attributes can be updated in the
+<geronimo_home>/var/config/config.xml file. The attributes most likely to be
+changed are already included in the supplied config.xml file, while others may
+need to be added manually.
+
+
+Known Issues and Limitations
+----------------------------
+Spring jars packaged within the lib directory of an EAR file will not be accessible
+to web applications packaged within the same EAR file. To workaround this issue
+you must either override Spring class filtering which is automatically configured
+for the web applications or configure the Spring jars via the manifest classpath of
+the web applications.

Ok. Faulty memory, I guess. I'll update the release notes.

The current deployment of MEJB allows read access to all the users
in the default "admin" group. If you would like the behavior (mejb-user
group) as you have described, we can make changes to the MEJB plan.
To get read/write access an "mejb-admin" group must be created.
All users in this group will have R/W access.
