The main goals for 3.0 is to provide features that simplify user adoption.

h2 File System Based Operations
8
9
In order to reduce the initial usage barrier, the following should be possible (or simplified)
10
11
* Have a system layout consisting of a number of auto-discovered co-located file system repositories
12
** Much like the dev repo but actually based on the FSCR and "always armed"
13
** Benefit: Supports Git-branching approaches out of the box
14
** Benefit: Allows System Releases as a single ZIP to be exploded without any online access (a regular "copy" deployment)
15
 
16
* Provide consistent and complete system export
17
** Support binary or source-preserving export
18
** Provide clean component name escaping so we can also export mvn-provided artifacts if desired
19
** so we can offer a complete base distribution as binary download
20
** Running samples means to clone co-located Git Repos
21 4 Henning Blohm
** Make re-binding of repository locations simpler (e.g. a remote repo becomes a local FS repo after export)

h2. Free Web Container Choice
24 1 Henning Blohm
25 4 Henning Blohm
It should be possible to use a Web Container of choice, as long as it is Jetty or Tomcat. Our tests indicate that it should be simple to programmatically control any pre-installed instance.

27 4 Henning Blohm
* Provide a web container resource that hooks up with a pre-configured web container OR a self-hosted web container
28
* This will require some creative business with the servlet/jsp and Web Container class path

* Seamless support of Maven repositories (see [[V23]], [[maven_repo_support]])
33

34 2 Henning Blohm
* Port add-ons and samples to maven repos for external artifacts
