Description

Here's a prototype offline deploy tool. It has only one command, for offline distribution of applications. It's basically a clone of the online tool so it works in a similar way, but for the distribute-offline command it uses a hacked version of the packaging plugin's PackageBuilder class to start a kernel, load some configurations, and then call the deployer.

It has one serious bug at the moment: it doesn't switch between tomcat and jetty. Not sure why, but I can look into it more.

It has some missing features:

• it should get dependencies from somewhere (maybe download them from an online Maven repo)
• it should be able to manipulate config.xml
• it needs more commands (at least undistribute)
• it needs to allow the user to specify the config-store to write to

There's probably a lot of unused code there, too, since I haven't figured out what everything does yet. But it's a start.

You can use it like the online tool. The jar is $GERONIMO_HOME/bin/offline.jar.
