I agree that JBoss is evolving in some strange ways. Having taken over a
large developer mindshare in the J2EE market I think they're trying to
figure out where to go from here - J2EE looks to me to be on the
downswing, with lighter weight technologies increasingly used as
alternatives. Meanwhile, JBoss is getting more competition in the
free/open source J2EE app server market. It is telling that they say
most developers are using JBoss on Windows; that's a low-end system
market, certainly not what I'd expect to see in even medium sized companies.
I haven't noticed any problems installing it on Linux, though - untgz,
go to bin, and run the script. What kind of problems have you seen?
The only way this arrangement with MS makes sense as a technical
development (rather than a marketing one) is if JBoss intends to go more
into non-J2EE or J2EE++ technologies. Perhaps they're planning to add
features beyond standard JAX-RPC/JAX-WS support in their replacement for
Axis (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWS), and want to
work toward Microsoft compatibility. I think that's probably a bad
approach, if they're building on top of the "standard" - JAX-RPC is a
horrible mess, and I don't really think JAX-WS is much better
(annotation overload). Axis1 became a mess in large part because it was
built around JAX-RPC; Axis2 is taking the cleaner approach of building
their own core with the intent to support JAX-RPC/JAX-WS as a wrapper.

well, C was meant to be a solution to UNIX platform
compatibility. We all know how that went. Jboss has
been evolving into a strange beast in the last year.
They are almost their own platform apart from J2EE.
Certainly the odd man out of the J2ee world. Try
installing it on linux...

Doesn't JBoss run
on Java? Doesn't Java "Run Anywhere"?
