Just yesterday I was thinking of needing nice MC tool(s) to help me with some migration, optimization. So, the idea is next (all cmd line tools): (1) help migrate -service.xml --> -beans.xml * single file, ant patterns * warn on non portable elements (perhaps being able to type in the fix/change) (2) display services dependencies (pojos, mbeans, aliases, deployments, ...) via apiwiz * at descriptor file level (-beans.xml, -service.xml, jboss-dependency.xml, jboss-classloading.xml) * at (Bean|Service)MetaData level (hook into Deployers attachments) * at kernel level (inspect ControllerContexts for DependencyItems) This would require a new mc-tools projects, with 2 modules: migration, dependencies Both tools should come pretty much in-handy with JBoss6. (1) moving all those mbeans to mc pojos (2) helping determining how to handle On_Demand mode View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4228226#...
