I wasn't sure where to post this, as I haven't found a suitable forum.
I searched a lot and couldn't find the following:
* JBoss 5.0.0 application server scheduled release date
* Whether it is going to be backwards compatible (.ear file)
* JDK 6.0 support

I'm starting a new project which may be deployed in production in 2-3 months and was hoping that by then JBoss 5.0.0 would be in a general availability status.
