Log:
GERONIMO-3816 Disable building of the roller-mysql-database plugin. Also added instructions on how to build, if desired, with suitable warning about the licensing terms. Note that the plugin will still be built under the org.apache.geronimo.plugins groupid. This probably needs to be adjusted. Input welcome

-Roller with MySql:
+Roller with MySql Licensing:
+MySQL cannot be included with roller. MySQL is Licensed under the GPL license: http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/
+and also under a FLOSS exception: http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html.
+
+Neither of these license terms are compatible with the goals of the ASF. Thus, we are not able to provide a MySQL roller plugin.
+However, this does not mean you cannot use MySQL with the roller plugin. You'll just need to build it yourself.
+
+To build the roller-mysql-database plugin:
+
+ * edit roller-mysql-database/pom.xml, and uncomment the dependency for mysql-connector-java
+ * cd to the roller-mysql-database directory and run 'mvn'
+
+This will build the roller-mysql-database plugin.
+
+Roller with MySql Setup:
At any time you can start using mysql as database back-end by installing the roller-mysql plugin module.
Before installing the roller-mysql plugin create a empty mysql database called 'roller' with the user 'roller' and password 'roller'.
After installing the roller-mysql plugin you may need to restart roller for the database change to take effect this can be done from
