Welcome to the Apache Geronimo v2.1 documentation. This is a work in progress and the documentation is to be updated frequently based on the newer release.
To help you find the content you are looking for we are separating the documentation in two main groups, User's guide and Developer's guide. In a nutshell, the former is mostly targeted to system administrators and overall users that will be installing and configuring Geronimo and applications. The latter on the other hand is targeted to application developers, the idea is to provide all the info you need to know to develop applications and to get the most of them (and your time) when deploying to Geronimo.
So, how are we doing this? Check this out!
