The sort-of-free Sun J2EE distribution offered on the Sun site where we get the JSDK is going to skim off a certain percentage of folks who might otherwise look at Geronimo. At the other end (in some sense) JBoss going to skim off another percentage. Interest in lightweight containers might take another slice. How much does that leave?
Lack of sufficient interest is a killer for projects of this sort. So I'm curious :-).

If you want to do a better job at trolling, you might want to avoid trying to portray the "Sun J2EE distribution" as something that is a major force in the market. What iPlanet do you live on :)

Forgive me for being skeptical, but it is starting to look like this project is on the wrong side of the power curve.
Not that I'd mind if proven wrong ... :).
Is this project really going somewhere, or have the early participants found they cannot afford the needed time?
Between JBoss on one end, Sun's J2RE distribution, and interest in lighter-weight containers, is this project still relevant?
