Talk:JBoss application server
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please clean the page from the marketspeak and shameless self-promotion that's in it now. This is Wikipedia after all, not some cheap PR opportunity. --131.246.137.55 17:43, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

If someone deletes the notice about the trademark-conflict in gemany again, she or he might write about her or his intentions.--Ferrydun 16:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I did not delete it but... The trademark thing is not an accurate statement of the facts. AFAIK no company in Germany has claimed rights to the JBoss trademark/servicemark except for the Eurpoean subsidiary of JBoss. There was a Germany company that felt it should be able to use the servicemark and that it was unfair for the company to have registered the servicemark. However, if you look at similar articles on the wikipedia there is not a large list of every minor out of court dispute or that "so and so company doesn't like XYZ company because..." making me think that the encyclopedic value of this information (especially in its inaccurate form) is questionable at best.

Sure you've mentioned java enough times in the first 2 sentences? I dunno... This doesn't read like an encylopaedia to me. I didn't learn what I wanted to on a quick look at the page.
This content is dreadful and really illustrates how severely problematic Wikipedia is:
Oracle already competes with IBM in the middleware space: they are (depending on how and who is measuring) the number two and number one players in the space. I'm sure there's some more relevant information on the history of JBoss (which is actually interesting and not discussed here at all) than ill informed speculation about a rumored acquisition discussion.
[edit] Who uses JBoss?
Just out of curiosity (and the fact that my company is considering using JBoss), who else uses JBoss?

I know that The Dynac product of Transdyn Controls is based on JBoss/JLoox...--Billymac00 20:34, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
What a name! My guess is that whoever uses this has narcissism issues. "JBoss Rules"!
