I made some research on this. Apparently we will need to import (at
least) the following packages from jpackage to update our
geronimo-specs:
maven-release
excalibur-avalon-framework
excalibur-avalon-logkit
mojo-maven2-plugin-idlj
jacorb >= 0:2.3.0-17
mockobjects >= 0:0.09
mockobjects-jdk1.4-j2ee1.4 >= 0:0.09
ws-scout

It smells like a lot of work. Who wants to team up for this?

PS: I need the geronimo-specs updated to 1.2 in order to package this:
