<h3><a name="FAQ-JBOSS-SURVIVAL"></a>How does JBoss survive ?</h3>
<p class="text">JBoss is an open source project. It came into existence
due entirely to the generosity of a small but growing group of
very talented and prolific software developers and architects who
designed, developed and continue to improve the suite of J2EE
application servers available from this website. The project has
survived up to this point because this group has remained dedicated
and invested significant resources into the project. As a result the
project has thrived and an equally dedicated community of users
continue to grow around it at a phenomenal rate.
-<p class="text">Today JBoss, is a large and successful open source project with
the binary distributions available on the site being downloaded over 500 times
everyday. A project of this size only survives because <i>everyone</i> in the
project's community actively contribute to it's future. There are many forms of
contributions including financial or equipment donations (please contact the the <a
href="team.jsp">JBoss Board</a>), technical skills in software development and
testing and, insightful wisdom and real-life feedback as technical authors and
documenters. <i>What are you going to contribute?</i>

brings you
+JBoss, our state-of-the art web application server based on the Java 2 Enterprise
Edition
+ (J2EE™) specification from SUN Microsystems.
+This is a fully functional, ready-to-run web application server that directly
competes
+with BEA's WebLogic™ and IBM's WebSphere™ offerings. Licensed under GNU
LGPL,
+ and unlike any other server in the industry,
+ JBoss is fully free with no per-cpu or hidden costs. It can be embedded in
commercial
+ products and is being used in production around the world.
+
+<p class="text">As part of an effort to enhance the JBoss user experience,
subsidize the
+ free core-product and increase third-party commitment, JBoss fosters an expanding
+ network of worldwide professionals ready to support your
+ application and deployment. Homegrown JBoss Group, a commercial entity regrouping
+ core developers to provide training, support and consulting around the JBoss
server,
+ spearheads this effort. Discover today why, at 40,000 downloads per
+ month, JBoss is by an order of magnitude the most downloaded J2EE based web
application
+ server on the planet.
<p class="head">JBOSS STORE IS COMING, THE THIRD DIMENSION
- <p class="text">In order to ensure the continuing success of the FREE
core JBOSS product, we will
- be offering additional peripheral products for a fee. Add-on products
can take the form of support
- books and printable docs about JBoss, JBoss logo merchandise and most
important peripheral software.
- The GUIs, the configuration tools, the plugins to other IDEs, the
fancy management SNMP plugin, etc all these will
- be available for purchase. We view this as the "Third Dimension", a
new experiment at commercial

<p class="text">Why should you pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to
Java-enable your business enterprise? At those costs it doesn't take long to figure
out there is no future in that, unless you are the server vendor! But JBoss is not
just about zero cost. Our tools are innovative. We sport features, such as "hot
deploy", "Dynamic Proxies", and a JMX based fully modular design that enables you to
replace virtually every component of the server, that just can't be found in many
commercial Enterprise Java servers, no matter how much you are willing to pay!
<p class="text">So what are you waiting for? Download JBoss/Server and
our other JBoss components, today and try them out. Join the community by contributing
features and fixes. Tell your fellow architects, engineers, and programmers about
JBoss-we are certain they will want to know! The hundreds of others who are obtaining
JBoss products every day are finding out just why we have become so popular, why we
are deployed all over the world and embedded in leading applications.
<p class="text">We are JBoss.org. We are creating world-class J2EE
technologies in open source. We are "coding the future."
