Which version of the jdk to use?

[burrus_68]

Well, I have read at least 2 different posts on which is the proper j2sdk to use to get the JBoss Server going!!! I am afraid that I am receiving some "mixed signals" on this issue!! I am trying to use the version 1.5.0 beta 1 of it to get it going now, but it failing badly to activate!!! Should I be instead using the 1.4* of it??

JDK 1.5.0 does not currently work with any version of jboss. Don't use it under any circumstances. Use a 1.4.2 version. That should be clear now.

Okay Scott, you are right!! Right after I earlier did that post, I went back and got the older version of the JDK, version 1.4.2_04 to be exact, and then after setting the env. variables correctly for it, I then tried/attempted to run JBoss and, lo and behold, it ran beautifully for me!!
