Description

From IRC discussion:

djencks: right so I think the next thing would be to start working on a kar project for the demos [18:15]

jamieg: I'm going to split my JIRA for the kar demo in two -- one for the features-maven plugin and the other for the karaf-maven plugin. They approach creating kars differently [18:15]

djencks: we could have a kar per demo or one that installs all the demos 
yes.... AFAIK the features-maven-plugin doesn't actually work to create kars 
which is why I've been hoping 3.0 could be released sooner rather than later	[18:16]

jamieg:	very true, but it should according to the docs	[18:17]

djencks: and, everything I've been saying is only about trunk/3.0....	[18:17]

jamieg:	Oh yes, that i assumed :) I wouldn't change the packaging of demos on a micro release 
2.x assemblies will pretty much stay as they are	[18:18]

djencks: I think it would be great to find out if the manual instructions are correct and comprehensible enough for someone other than me to set up a working kar project to install the demos but if you like I could come up with at least a start	[18:19]

jamieg: Please feel free to jump in :) 

djencks: I've been learning the kar functionality from the docs and from chatting with you ;) 
and others	[18:20]
djencks: ok do you think it would be better to have each demo individually installable or have all the demos in one kar?	[18:20]

jamieg: good question :)	[18:21]

djencks:if we decided "individually" we could have a demo archetype but it ends up with almost twice as many projects	[18:22]

jamieg: or if we go for 'all' its simple at least 

djencks: do we gain anything from individual demos? 
djencks: an demo archtype could be useful for custom distro builders 
... 
djencks: perhaps all for 3.0, then individual for 3.1? 
djencks: gets things done fast for 3.0 then build our better functionality for 3.1?	[18:22]
djencks: I'll start with an "all" and see how it goes	[18:24]

jamieg: (just trying to manage feature creep - a lot of people are really calling for 3.0.0)	[18:24]

djencks: (in particular me :-)	[18:24]

jamieg:	hehe	[18:24]

djencks: ok, good, we have a plan.... have to go now for a bit... thanks!
