Sourceforge and this site.

Hi All,

What's the difference between Jboss 3.2.x and Jboss 3.0.x? Jboss 3.0.4 is available for download here, but on sourceforge, Jboss 3.0.6 and Jboss 3.2RC1 are both available for download. I can't find anywhere that explains the differences or why files moved from sourceforge to here.

If I need the latest production quality jboss, which version should I use?

This is a good question, my impression is that the jboss.org download page is not always updated when there are new releases on sourceforge. So I always check on sourceforge when I'm looking for new releases. I think the 3.0.6 is the one to go for.

(note that the download page on this site is just links to sourceforge)

RC means release candidate -- it is not stable yet. 3.0.x is the stable branch

It just makes me wonder because I have never seen a Jboss 3.0.x RC release. To me, it seems like 3.0.x is dev build (since we have a new 3.0.x release every month or so), and 3.2.x is more of a production, formal release.
A question of this sort sounds pretty fundamental. Why isn't this covered in JBoss FAQ or mentioned anywhere either on this site or sourceforge?

There were at least three RC releases for 3.0 (http://freshmeat.net/branches/29819/)

The CVS admin & versioning policy is explained here:
