Jboss 7.1.2.Final is only for EAP?

[mlw5415]

I see "EAP Only" at page:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aroadmap-panel.

Version '7.1.2.Final' will not realese for Commuity?

Hi,

ofcourse it will be released for community, but the release cycle is bit longer as it is 7.1.2 is basis for fixes in EAP.

all of the code is avalibale on github and you can build it yourself anytime you want or use nightly builds.

Hi Tomaz,

Do we need to download nightly build even after 7.1.2 final is released or 7.1.2 final release will be available to community for download?

Hi Tomaz,

can you better explain how it will be handled after EAP6 is released?

can we go to the download page and get the 7.1.2 or do we need to fork in github and build the 7.1.2.Final tag?

thank you

As long as the 7.1.2 is not final you might download a nighly build or use the git repo.

If the 7.1.2 is released you will find the downloads here.

This is not related to EAP6 release. EAP6 release is scheduled after 7.1.2 release and all fixes of 7.1.2 should be included in EAP6.

But EAP6 might include bugfixes that are not in AS7.1.2.

Ok it's clear, this is the EAP additional value, and it will not affect the community release which continues as usual... so, when i read in the roadmap "7.1.2.Final -> EAP Only" it is just a wrong description of the milestone

Thank you

Is this still the case? I see in the JIRA for 7.1.2.Final "Tag used by EAP Only". Is 7.1.2.Final already available somewhere? Do we have to build it ourself as the description suggests that JBoss will only tag it?

[hemyperry]

I have the same question as Frank and Riccardo have asked becuase now that I can also see "7.1.3.Final Only for EAP" I would like to know if I can treat those releases the same as I treated 7.1.Final, 7.1.1.Final etc.

can approve\reject\clarify on those two questions?

thanks!

Hi Frank,

7.1.2 is only a tag within the git repo and not available as downloadable zip.

The EAP6 Final will be based on this tag but might have additional fixes or features.

If you want to have a 7.1.2.Final you need to pull/clone the git and use the tag to build the server.

[frank.cornelis]

If the 7.1.2 is released you will find the downloads here.

Why this change in strategy all of a sudden? Won't you risk loosing valuable community feedback (in exchange for more EAP clients I guess)?

[frank.cornelis]

Will 7.1.2.Final remain available within Jenkins or should we always be building from the source code from now on?

Let's assume I've build JBossAS from Source (after cloning the GIT repo). Which maven artifacts can/should I use when building my (web) app? Will org.jboss.arquillian:arquillian-bom:1.0.0.Final do the job?

Hi all

In November 2010 I had caused very active discussions between JBoss and Oracle when Oracle took over GlassFish and I had said about JBoss having "split their efforts between an open source branch with few releases and no corrective versions, and commercial versions which fix critical issues". For details, read here: http://jaxenter.com/glassfish-and-jboss-clarify-lifecycles-after-accusatory-comment-32646.html

Oracle had then done very good pubicity on it and told that they would have maintenance releases of their GlassFish product's open source edition... a promise that they kept as GlassFish has had many corrective patches and even reached version 3.1.2.

JBoss had also promised (at that time) a similar cycle... But the non-availability of 7.1.2.Final and very probably 7.1.3.Final, be it as downloads as well as the Maven central, shows the opposite.

This for me it not only frustrating, but also is a clear indication that I would keep preferring GlassFish to JBoss just for this clearer and better support strategy for open and enterprise users.

Thank you

Building from source doesn't look promising at all: https://community.jboss.org/message/735207

Jason, Jaikiran and colleagues: is this really what you want us to do?

Let's please continue that discussion in that other thread. We have a couple of developers who build and run AS7 on Windows without any issues on a daily basis. So we have to figure out if it's your local setup that running into problem.
