[chef] Re: Future of the application cookbook

[Bryan Berry < >]

Andrea,

Can you provide a link to coderanger's application cookbook? I don't
see it on his github page

The current application cookbook doesn't meet my needs for tomcat and
jboss applications. I want to review all the different approaches that
currently exist before I reinvent the wheel. I am particularly
fascinated by joewilliams app cookbook.
