Description

DJ: The installer currently works by installing everything in a full
geronimo install, and not starting the pieces you don't want. This is
rather unsatisfactory unless you sell disk space. The geronimo
assembly is moving to use of the packaging and assembly plugins, and we
can leverage that with the installer. What I am thinking of is
including a maven repository inside the installer jar that includes
everything from a full geronimo install with everything, including all
the .car files for the configurations. Then we can imitate or use the
assembly plugin to copy the configuration dependencies into the install
target and install the actual configurations.
