Red Hat to acquire JBoss
Red Hat has announced
that it will be acquiring JBoss for $350 million, plus some extra cash if
things turn out well. "By acquiring JBoss, Red Hat expects to
accelerate the shift to service-oriented architectures (SOA), by enabling
the next generation of web-enabled applications running on a low-cost, open
source platform."

Red Hat to acquire JBoss Posted Apr 10, 2006 14:35 UTC (Mon) by yodermk (subscriber, #3803) [Link] Interesting. Guess this means that they will be working very hard to ensure that JBoss runs well under GCJ. (Or does it already?)

Red Hat to acquire JBoss Posted Apr 10, 2006 15:41 UTC (Mon) by yanfali (subscriber, #2949) [Link] JBoss has a lot of mindshare in the J2EE market so this makes sense if you want to compete with the Websphere, BEA crowd. I personally wish they'd bought the Spring IoC guys instead.
Red Hat to acquire JBoss Posted Apr 10, 2006 16:02 UTC (Mon) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link] 50% of JBoss customers are running on MSFT Windows. And JBoss has a partner deal with MSFT. So this gets RHAT in some doors that had been closed to them before.
