The JBoss 3 book was translated in chinese. It's likely that the JBoss 4 book will also be translated into chinese.

the translated book is not so understandable, so, we want to write our own book.

I'm sorry. I misunderstood. As long as you are writing original material and not stealing copyrighted material or misusing the JBoss trademarks, you are welcome to write JBoss books in any language. Email me if you are serious about this.

yes, we are serious about this. We are masters of CS.

The questions are:

we did not ever read the original documentation (we read the source code). How can we know that we will not explain some techniques similar as you did? All the techniques are standard, so, similar explanation can not be avoided.

The JBoss trademarks cannot be used in the book?
