rcd Dec 4, 2012 2:46 PM (in response to teknopaul)If you're looking for binaries, Red Hat is not supplying them. See this thread: https://community.jboss.org/thread/197780
If I remember correctly, someone in that thread did build 7.1.2.Final on their own and made it available on GitHub.

fcorneli Dec 5, 2012 3:55 AM (in response to rcd)Building JBoss AS 7.1.3.Final yourself is not that difficult.
git clone https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as.git cd jboss-as git checkout 7.1.3.Final mvn clean install -Drelease=true cd dist/target ls

teknopaul Dec 6, 2012 6:03 PM (in response to rcd)Hi Rich,
What does "If you're looking for binaries, Red Hat is not supplying them" really mean?
Are you saying that RedHat is no longer going to deliver precompiled versions of JBossAS, and that end users have to always build from source code?
Or buy EAP, presumably.
Or do you mean just certain versions of JBoss will not be released?

nickarls Dec 6, 2012 6:18 PM (in response to teknopaul)Certain versions will only be released as binaries (the EAP ones). Those versions can be build from source. The next community version is 7.2.0

rcd Dec 7, 2012 10:48 AM (in response to teknopaul)As Nicklas said, certain versions are only being released as source. You can build them yourself but there's no official binary available for download. Even after all of the discussion in the thread I linked to, I still don't understand the logic behind that decision. The general argument seemed to be that "AS moves faster than EAP" and I suppose it does from the standpoint of someone who develops AS/EAP. But from the standpoint of someone who's using AS to deploy applications, it doesn't, at least not lately. The last AS release was nine months ago and given the trend for the number of open issues for 7.2.0, I'd say it's going to be over a year between AS releases.
Personally, I find this to be very frustrating. I have no problem with using snapshots or building my own binaries if I have to, but other people where I work won't use anything but an official release, on the grounds that those are safer. I don't think there's much logic to the argument, but they have seniority so there's nothing I can do. I would really like to get some of the bug fixes (just got hit by WELD-1067 yesterday), but I feel like I'm waiting for Godot.

wdfink Dec 16, 2013 8:13 AM (in response to daverwood)A helpful script will be build.sh if the maven build will not work. This script will do a bit work around mvn, you can pass the "clean install" to the build.sh as well.
