JBoss EAP 8 ideas/roadmap

[adila01]

My congratulations on the JBoss team for the EAP 7 release. It is amazing! I can't wait until I upgrade my organization's servers to it.

My question is, do any of the developers have any ideas or a roadmap of what they would like to see in the EAP 8 or EAP 7.x releases? How do you plan to work around Oracle's Java EE disinvestment? Thanks!

My wishlist for EAP 7/ EAP 7.x

• More interaction with the community
  • A reddit AMA would be nice
• Complete revamp of the web user interface
  • More graphical and less text based
    • It would be nice if Keycloak and Websphere Liberty Profile provided the inspiration
  • An interactive interface for the log messages
    • Provide hints to the commons log errors
    • Automatic Google Searches for complex errors
  • Easy way to configure log messages for export to Splunk, ELK and more
• The creation of a "marketplace" of subsystems that Wildfly Swarm can integration interact with
  • This would be a killer feature!
• Published SPECjEnterprise benchmarks
• Better integration with Linux
  • Port the EAP installer screen to a cockpit plugin
    • I want to be able to build and deploy an entire JBoss environment without ever having to manually ssh into a box
• More backward compatible
  • No more major rewrites or changes in the core subsystems
    • I think you all have finished the large rewrite which started from EAP 5
  • Return of some dropped functionality like JSF 1 support
• Enhance Thermostat functionality
• Removing all the information about the JBoss product from jboss.org
  • They all already seem to be part of the Red Hat Developers site
  • Turn jboss.org into a more community projects centered site
