Re: [forge-dev] TomEE JBoss Forge Plugin

Sounds great. 1) TomEE does create a default DataSource for you if you have an @Resource reference for it in your app and no datasource has been explicitly created in the server. So it being there depends on 1) if you declared you needed a DataSource and 2) what it's called depends on what name you gave your reference. There are likely other options too. Knowing where this requirement comes from will help. 2) OpenJPA is the default JPA provider 3) Excellent. I've updated the plugin so forking it into JBoss Forge would be easier: https://github.com/dblevins/tomee-jboss-forge-plugin Maybe fork it to https://github.com/forge/tomee-plugin then we can keep the ball rolling. -David On Jan 20, 2013, at 6:05 PM, "Lincoln Baxter, III" < lincolnbaxter(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Hey David, > > Thanks for reaching out!

That's where the AS7 plugin lives. We can also add some docs to the website in the getting started on Java EE section so that we give folks the choice of the TomEE plugin as well: > > https://github.com/forge/forge.github.com/blob/develop/docs/using/basic-j... > Pull requests of course speed up this process.
