does jboss run without installing j2ee1.4?

[firasath]

does jboss only need the standard java1.4 sdk? Is the j2ee1.4 an altogether another applilcation server?

Sorry for the newbie questions... Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is correct, to work with JBoss all that is required is JBoss and a standard J2SE SDK.

FYI - At least to begin with the majority of the classes you need for compilation / runtime will be found in the jbossall-client.jar in the client folder of your JBoss installation.
