maybe

no

Did you actualy experience such problems or are these hypothetical, or
based on the sourceforge maintenance yesterday? since both firebird and
jboss are hosted on sourceforge I don't really think availability is a
problem.

I also don't think the alleged instability problems are very likely, since
these are all interfaces and a few classes that are completely specified by
the relevant specs. The only reason for using them is that the sun
versions have restrictions on redistribution.

I think it would be a good idea to check out jboss sources as of a
date/time, and keep track of what that is. I haven't had time to construct
such a system. Interested?
