Egregious Plug for JBoss
Posted in Red Hat on Aug 13th, 2008
The trophy case for JBoss is looking pretty full right now. As well as great report cards from Gartner and Forrester, apparently JBoss App Server is a Winner in the 6th annual SD Times 100 list. JBoss Drools and JBoss ESB both won BOSSies recently too.
On the subject of popularity contests JBoss Middleware has also [...]
Java is finally Free and Open - part 2
Posted in java on Jun 22nd, 2008
I’m going to attempt to answer some of the comments that last week’s post received. Problem is - there were a lot of them - spread across Reddit, Slashdot, Digg, DZone (and again), InfoQ and the blogosphere. I clearly can’t reply to them all so I’ve grouped them and will answer generally.
But first - I’d [...]
Java is finally Free and Open
Posted in open source on Jun 19th, 2008
[also read part 2]
At JavaOne in May, 2006, Sun Microsystems announced they were going to release Java as free software under the terms of the GPL. The size of the task (6.5 million lines of code) was only eclipsed by the size of the opportunity for Java as a free and open technology.
At JavaOne in [...]
The Blind Men and the Elephant
Posted in Business on Jun 9th, 2008
There’s been an interesting thread on the “Open Source Business’ Glass Ceiling” over the last couple of months that I’ve been meaning to comment on. I think Marten Mickos’ initial categorization of customer willingness to pay for support is perhaps a little too simplistic; or maybe too abstract.
As a recap - Marten asserts that there [...]

JBoss, 2 month update
Posted in Red Hat on Jun 3rd, 2008
Wow, it’s been almost 2 months since I left Sun to join the JBoss division of Red Hat.
Time for a quick update. In many cases I’m comparing with Sun which is a) a little unfair because they’re companies in very different situations; and b) unfortunately my only reference point. So, I apologise beforehand if this [...]
How to convice your Boss to choose JBoss
Posted in Red Hat, Uncategorized on Jun 2nd, 2008
Have you ever been in that situation where you’ve quickly developed your cool new app using JBoss only to be told by your boss that you have to port it over to some other vendor’s dinosaur of a run-time because it’s the “corporate standard” ?
Does it frustrate you that your IT department standardized on a [...]
JON 2.0 - not just sexy
Posted in Enterprise, Red Hat, Uncategorized on Apr 24th, 2008
JON 2.0 sounds like a cheesey-made-for-cable film you’d find on SciFi channel during the afternoon (not that I would know).
But it’s not - JON stands for JBoss Operations Network. There’s a myth that open source ‘products’ tend to be a bit rough around the edges, not easy to use, no flashy consoles, etc. Well, JON [...]
