Community Projects

JBoss redefined the application server back in
2002 when it broke apart the monolithic
designs of the past with its modular architecture.

Since then we've continued to find new ways to challenge convention and redefine Enterprise Java through community-driven projects. Choose from one of the categories above to see how our technologies can help you develop cutting-edge applications.

Licenses

Our main license, the LGPL, ensures you can safely use community projects to develop and deploy applications whilst keeping your source code private. You may even keep changes made to project source code private as long as you do not distribute the resulting binaries.

Other licenses, such as the Apache License, offer different usage terms. Check with the projects you're using to see which licenses apply.

Standards

JBoss understands the value of standards for Java technologies and actively participates in the Java Community Process (JCP) as a member of the Executive Committee. We also take part in numerous Java Specification Requests (JSRs) either as Expert Group members or Specification Leads to contribute our knowledge and experience back to the wider community. Our involvement extends to other Java industry standards such as OSGi where we are full members of the OSGi Alliance.

Interoperability between our projects and other technologies is another concern so we additionally participate in standards bodies such as OASIS and W3C. Finally we take an interest in the continued development of projects from the Apache Software Foundation where we have representatives who act as Chairs or Members & Committers on the Project Management Committees.
