Note: Since this blog was written, JBoss AS 7.0.0.Final (Lightning) has been released and our build now bundles this.

Our nightly builds are now pre-configured with JBoss AS 7.0.0.CR1 (White Rabbit) and SwitchYard v 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT:

• SwitchYard AS7

We have also ensured that the quickstart samples and demos work seamlessly with this build. Thanks to the modular, crazy fast White Rabbit a full fleged application (with CDI Beans and SOAP gateway) deploys in a couple of seconds.
