Double Jopr
Oct 23rd, 2008 by sharps
The really big news last week was that JBoss ON (Operation Network) has finally been open sourced as the Jopr project (I’m trying to like the name - honest). JBoss ON is a sophisticated management platform for the JBoss Middleware stack and it’s based on Project RHQ (A collaboration between Red Hat and Hyperic).
There’s a subproject of Jopr called Embedded Jopr which is the basis of the new console for JBoss App Server - this is a significant improvement over the current Web Console and JMX Console and should be a welcome addition to users who are familiar with IBM WAS and Oracle WLS. This first version only suport JBoss AS 4.2 (ie. EAP 4.3) but work is underway to support AS 5.0.
I’d recommend downloading and having a quick play - it takes just a few minutes to get up and running (even for me). If you don’t have the time there are some screenshots and a short (15 min) video here. There’s also more detail on Ian Springers blog.
