A brief comment on 2:
There will be very hard to find any full J2EE implementations that are
Open Source, since Sun actually forbids us from publishing the source.
They claim that any J2EE implemetation, even if it's not based on any
Sun source code uses their intellectual property and can only be shipped
to J2EE licensees. Theoretically it could be possible to get it
published under the Sun Community Source Licensing, but that means even
bigger problems.
