Hmmm... I thought only the JBoss Group services were a for-profit project, whereas the JBoss open source server was a non-profit project. But maybe I am wrong in this distinction?

Answer: Yeah, that's a really tough situation. JBoss is an open source project that wants to say they are compatible with J2EE, but they are also a for-profit project, so they can't apply for zero-cost access to the TCKs under the new rules. Recently JBoss launched its own certification program, which is interesting. Open source wisdom says that it's really hard to maintain a fork. It will be interesting to see how they do. I'd really like to see Sun and JBoss work together to find a solution to the problem. They got great coverage at the 2002 JavaOneSM conference -- several awards. It's a very popular effort. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
