I agree. 

And don't get me started on the vaguely written documentation on the web site. If I 
were paranoid, I would suspect there is a very strong commercial disincentive to have 
clear, easy to understand documentation on the web site with fast and friendly set up 
assistance in the forums.

Even the for-pay documentation isn't of any great quality. I strongly suspect one or 
two that I've made the mistake of buying were written by second language English 
speakers. I would use this public forum to invite Jboss to use some of that 
"Professional Open Source" revenue to hire excellent writers and proof readers.

And when that fails, guess what, you buy the docs because the free stuff is so vague, 
and you get a sales and consulting call from Jboss within a day of purchasing the 
docs. So when the vague and poorly written for pay docs fail, you get to hire hugely 
expensive consultants.

I couldn't have thought of a better business model myself, it's sheer genius :-))
