JBoss and J2EE Certification
I don't know if you've read this article that says JBoss is going to develop an open source implementation of J2EE 1.4. Of course, they already did this with 1.3, they just never got J2EE Certified, so they were unable to claim this. The interesting part about this article is that Marc Fleury said (on Wednesday night) that he never said a word of what was published in the article. Furthermore, he and the JBoss group has no interest in becoming J2EE certified, especially because of the $300,000 price tag. However, after the article was written, and received all this press from it - he is now going to get certified. How ironic is that?!
