Norman Richard:

• Never check generated files into the repository
• Never generate code using a tool that can't be automated

Words to live by. I like to generate code right into the build directory, somewhere like ./build/src.gen, to ensure it gets blown away by a build clean and to ensure that everybody knows it.

Geronimo proposal: There are two main aspects to this Apache project:

• a complete J2EE certified server which is fully ASF/BSD licensed and backed by a healthy open source community.
• to create a fully modular J2EE stack so that the Apache community can use whichever parts of the J2EE stack they require separate from the J2EE server project.

Very cool.
