In WTP 1.0 RC4 I attempted to install Apache Geronimo V1.0. However, the download took a long time and the dialog was modal so I had to wait (actually, I'm still waiting after a couple of minutes). This is bad UI design. The download should be done in a background task so the user can do other work (or cancel the download).
BTW, the download did complete. However, the icon for Geronimo looks like a solid red square. Is that correct or is the icon bad?
Arthur, take a look at 120694 , I think you both of these refer to the same problem with different solutions.
Gorkem, bug 120694 is similar but I think we should be explicit about using a background job if possible. I'm not sure if the Update Manager supports that. BTW, I had other problems so I restarted and then the icon looked good, like a blue G. I still have errors: missing \bin\server.jar, missing \repository\geronimo-spec\jars. I'll hunt around for some user docs. Perhaps I'm being too much a naive user.
I will make bug 120694 as a duplicate of this one, since I believe a background job is the best way of tracking the install. The icon and restart issues are tracked via another bug opened by Sachin. You can check with Sachin re: the usage problem with the adapter. I beleive Apache also uses a bugzilla system to track issues with the adapter.

Is the Geronimo download site supposed to be working? The download completed but there were missing directories. Only the \lib directory was received - the \bin was missing.
FYI, I opened a JIRA bug http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1353 to track some of the other problems I hit.

Fix checked into HEAD.
Missed resolving this bug previously - it was released and included in WTP 1.5 within a day or two of the last comment.
Verified on wtp-sdk-M-1.5.1-200609150551.zip. The Geronimo server adapter was downloaded in a background job but I had to reboot. The icons looked good. However, when I downloaded the Geronimo runtime, I had to wait in the foreground. Also, the UI of the dialog is bad since it doesn't tell you to enter a directory name and the Install button isn't greyed out although it is disabled until you enter a directory name. But these are not WTP problems so I am verifying the fix.
Closing.
This is part of a "mass update" where bugs showing "fixed" between 7/1/2006 and 9/27/2006 are assumed fixed in WTP 1.5.1. feel free to change the target milestone if you know a more accurate setting.
