We have a couple of inhouse intranet systems that currently use interclient
and FB, which 'ported' to Jaybird. For legal reasons we are not allowed to
uses beta/RC software for our customers, but as soon Jaybird reaches
'release' stage, we would have no problems in using it.

Works very well with Jboss. The only issue we have come accross is if you
are letting JBoss create the database metadata during deploy time, you tend
to get the infamous 'Object in use' error, but thats a FB issue.
