The Pluggable Administration Console is intended to be installed in the minimal "Little G" assembly of Geronimo, which previously had no central administration console.

The following guides are available:

Common Terminology

Plugin - An archive file (.car or .war) that can be installed into Geronimo to install a specific new component, such as ActiveMQ. For more about plugins, or to look at available plugins, check out geronimoplugins.com or geronimoplugincentral.org.
.CAR file (Configuration ARchive) - An archive file that stores Geronimo-specific configurations, as well as the classes, libraries, web pages, and other information associated with an application.
.WAR file (Web ARchive)- An archive file that distributes a web application, including all of its classes, libraries, web pages, and other information. It can be deployed on any web application server.
ACE (Administration Console Extension) - An archive file (either a .car or a .war), that includes Administration Console portlets. These portlets will be added to the Pluggable Administration Console when the ACE is deployed.
Pluggable Administration console - A flexible version of Geronimo's original administration console. Once installed it is available at http://localhost:8080/pluto/portal, and includes some portlets that correspond to the currently installed components in Geronimo.
Component - a set of functionality for Geronimo - it may be pre-installed, such as the Tomcat or Jetty web container, or it may be installed as a plugin
Minimal console - The administration console as it is first installed - with only the components necessary for basic functionality
Portlet - A pluggable interface feature. These are the content areas that are added to web pages to display information or offer configuration options of a component.
