JBoss 3.0 Product Development Timeline

[wherestheprocess]

guys - where's the schedule for the jboss 3.0 product development ?? i am trying to pick app servers for our next product release coming up in july 2002 and my hands are tied as far as jboss is concerned because there is no published schedule and no news on when to expect the beta and the final product.
with the sort of casual 'its ready when its ready' attitude - its hard to root for jboss - because i cant really plan any serious product development based on jboss.
so i guess for the moment its going to have to be weblogic followed by a last minute jboss throw-in - but this is going to affect the product pricing.
my gripe with open source is this cavalier attitude - at least let people know the build schedule so they can plan accordingly. thanks.

I can't comment on the "release schedule", and I'll resist the urge to try and argue with you about schedules, but the first Beta was released yesterday. You can download it from Sourceforge, since the JBoss website does not link to it yet. The following URL should work:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&release_id=62219

and if you want timelines you pay. Other than that go root for someone else,

that is just the way we work, for anything else there is BEA.

My 0.02 cents (or whatever)

Even if there was a schedule for 3.0, would you
dare to bet your own product on it? Would you dare
to bet the product on a schedule from any vendor,
commercial or not?

If you have a timeline for July, you should chose
between servers available now, Weblogic 6.1 or
Jboss 2.4 (and others of course). Not between what
might or might not appear (Weblogic 7.0/JBoss 3.0/
SuperServer 2002).
