I think it is a good idea to have something tightly integrated with JBoss.
you can either give it for free, or you can decide to charge some money for
it.
Say you charge $30 for your JBoss plugin. We have about 1500 downloads a
day, imagine you sell 10,000 copies over the year, well that is $300,000.
We get to keep a portion of course.
The name of the game is "who wants to be a millionaire". So go ahead and
write that plugin will you?
Be careful that core JBoss stuff will remain free, and that is what I commit
to develop with the "Open Source" programmers, but the add-ons can be
closed.
"Me Tarzan, free, you Jane, not free"
clear?

|Thanks for sharing the thought.
|
|I am working on netbeans open source a little bit.(It is a
|Java development IDE)
|I am user of jboss a little bit for learning EJB
|
|I think there is a good business opportunity on integrating these
|two great
|products.
|
|Are there any commercial or open source products
|based on the tight integration between netbeans and jboss?
|Are anyone interested in this kind of effort, and work on
|adding value/infrastructure for both netbeans and jboss.
|
|>From message archives, I see a lot of companies using
|JBOSS for almost commercial purposes.
|Can users of the those companies give an input on this.
