Apologies to anyone trying to reach any of the jboss.org sites, including jira.jboss.com.

The sites are currently down to migrate them to a bigger/faster data centre, sorry there isn't a more informative "site down" page :(

They should be back up in 6 or so hours.

Everybody Loves Lula!

Posted on 2009-06-26 19:05:00.0 by Clebert Suconic [ View original post ]

I just love my president! Maybe he is also wearing a JBoss shirt?

This picture was taken at FISL

Speaking as a brazilian citizen, we had so many highly educated presidents before him, however this government as far as I know has promoted open source in a much better scale than any other previous government.

It is really nice seeing the government promoting open source there.

JBoss Messaging 2.0. beta 2 released

Posted on 2009-06-16 06:38:00.0 by Tim Fox [ View original post ]

JBoss Messaging 2.0 beta 2 is released and ready for download.

Beta 2 is a minor update release for beta 1 that we released last week.

We aim to be producing releases at a higher rate than we've previously done in the project - following the "release early, release often" mantra.

Also, this is the first release Andy and Jeff put together themselves. They've somehow managed to avoid the pleasures of doing releases since they joined about two years ago, congratulations to Andy and Jeff - may this be the first of many! ;)

JBoss Messaging 2.0 beta released

Posted on 2009-06-08 12:21:00.0 by Tim Fox [ View original post ]

The messaging team are pleased to announce the release of JBoss Messaging 2.0 beta.

JBoss Messaging 2.0 brings astonishing performance and a huge feature set, in an all-new architecture.

With a focus on usability we've provided an extensive, easy-to-understand user-manual and quick-start guide and we ship with over 50 ready-to-run examples out of the box, demonstrating everything from simple JMS usage to complex clusters of servers.

Here are just a few of the highlights:

* Elegant POJO based design with minimal third party dependencies: Run JBoss Messaging 2.0 as a stand-alone messaging broker, run it in integrated in your favourite JEE application server, or run it embedded inside your own application.

* Incredible performance. Our unique ultra-high performance journal provides never seen before persistent messaging performance. Our NIO transport using Netty provides great performance on the wire.

* Huge feature set - all the features you'd expect in any serious messaging system, and others you won't find anywhere else.

* Massively flexible clustering

* Seamless high availability.

* Huge message support.

* Extensive management API.

* I could go on...

JBM 2.0 beta will be included in EAP 5.0 as a technology preview. We hope to release GA within the next couple of months.

Later releases of JBM 2 will be included as the Java messaging broker in JBoss EAP and JBoss SOA-P .

Thanks to the team (Andy, Clebert, Jeff and Howard) for the Herculean effort, against the odds, they have made in getting us to this point!

JBM 2.0 beta almost ready to roll

Posted on 2009-05-27 08:47:00.0 by Tim Fox [ View original post ]

I've been pretty quiet on this blog recently, and that's because we've been so busy getting 2.0 ready.

The good news is we're almost there. We're feature complete for the upcoming beta release, we've written a 180 user guide (which we're really proud of), and we have over 50 out-of-the-box working examples to play with.

Initial tests on our performance lab look good.

Watch this space.... :)

Exciting times for JBoss Messaging

Posted on 2009-04-16 05:47:00.0 by Tim Fox [ View original post ]

As many of you will be aware, for some time now Red Hat has had more than one messaging system implementation in house:

JBoss Messaging - the project based at JBoss, (currently available in the JBoss EAP and JBoss SOA-P products), and Red Hat Messaging, based on the Apache Qpid project (currently available in the Red Hat Enterprise MRG product).

For a while now we've recognised that we need to present a single consistent messaging offering across the whole of JBoss / Red Hat, so the projects are coming together to deliver a unified cross-company messaging solution in the future.

To reach that goal, JBoss Messaging 2.x will implement AMQP, as we consider this to be of strategic importance, along with JMS, and of course the full set of enterprise messaging functionality that you'd expect in any serious messaging broker.

JBoss Messaging will also be relicensing it's code under the ASL 2.0 licence (moving away from LGPL) in order to be usable by the widest range of interested parties.

The JBoss Messaging team will work with the Apache QPid community to ensure the QPid AMQP clients work seamless with both the QPid and JBoss Messaging brokers.

The JBoss Messaging project will remain as a community project at jboss.org.

I think you'll agree this is great news and will signal the start of a new era of unified messaging at Red Hat. :)
