	We should think about whether we want to distribute Geronimo with 
configurations like this installed, or just with plans you can customize 
and install yourself.  For example, it would be nice to have a directory 
of JDBC plans for many major databases, but I don't think it would be such 
a good idea to have them all installed into the server.  I guess an 
embedded product like Derby might be an exception (if no 
username/password/schema customization is required).

	But generally I'd prefer to distribute a clean server, with
perhaps a "samples" directory and a script to install the plans for some
or all of the samples.  So it starts totally clean (no databases, JMS
destinations, sample apps, etc.  besides what's required by the server and
a management console) but there's a single command to throw all the
samples in if you like.

When I added SystemDatabase I kept the DefaultDatabase plan around 
purely to avoid issues with installations at the time - back then Derby 
had not produced even an unofficial release from the incubator.

We have been trying to encourage people to use Derby for nearly a year 
now. I think it is time to finally kill off axion and replace it with 
just Derby.

We should keep the DefaultDatabase datasource around and separate from 
the system one - I would suggest as another database in the same 
instance. One is intended to be used by applications, the other just by 
the system itself.

I like the default-database-plan.xml which tells you what default 
database Geronimo is tested against. Then, others dbs could have their 
own plans with the name name-version-database-plan.xml.

Instead of removing it, it'd be better off just enhancing the izpack 
installer. So, before asking a user for details, it would ask if (s)he 
wants to change anything in the default db configuration.

I am having second thoughts about whether we should remove the 
default-database-plan.xml file.

Some options could be:

a) Keep it and change it to use Derby rather than axion, so it is 
available for Demo applications etc?

b) Remove it as people may misuse it (e.g. deploying non demo applications 
on it, where two applications could end up using the same table names 
etc). This would mean the current izpack installer would need to be 
changed to remove the axion/default database stuff.

c) Remove it and enhance the izpack installer to enable the user to create 
a new database, prompting the user for a database name and a configuration 
Id to give to the generated plan.  The downside to this is that users 
probably won't be thinking this far ahead (about databases) when 
installing Geronimo.

Why not? Report an JIRA issue, assign it to you and voila - it's all 
yours. I'm sure you'll have fixed it by the M4 branch is created.

Should this be done prior to M4, as it is only going to impact more people 
the later we leave it?

        Summary: Change default-database-plan.xml to use Derby and remove axion from Geronimo assembly  (was: Remove axion from Geronimo assembly and remove default-database-plan.xml)
    Description: 
There have been comments that axion is handy but dead and a number of people have agreed we should remove it.  Currently we are using axion version 1.0-M3-dev.

I think more discussion is required as to whether the default database configuration should be distributed with Geronimo.  See the mail thread:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=geronimo-dev&m=112059438311834&w=2

Should we at least take the first step of replacing Axion with Derby in the default database plan?  If so do we want to do this in M4 or M5?
