Major Description
Although there is already an option provided by the Java Service Wrapper, some users are more interested in seeing something similar to what is provided by Tomcat. Provided that we can easily take the technology from Tomcat (http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html), I'm keen to implement this same thing for Geronimo. The advantage of using Apache Commons procrun is that -
1. Out-of-box experience, no need to download and install a third party component;
2. Tray icon that further improves usability.
Eventually we would think to provide this "run as a service" capability for Linux/Unix platforms, but Windows would be a good start.
