Apache Geronimo is the open source J2EE server project of the Apache Software Foundation. The presentation will give a brief history of Geronimo, and how IBM became involved in the project. It will describe what functionality is provided by Geronimo, and the collection of open source libraries it contains. You will see how to build a customized server using Apache Maven, and how to install and configure J2EE applications with the administration console and the command line interface. The presentation will also describe Geronimo's new plugin architecture and the ongoing plugin repository efforts. Of interest to developers will be Geronimo's Eclipse plugin for running/debugging applications.
