compiling for Jboss

[minimike]

Hi there

I'm working for my own Start-Up on an Portal for my Enterprise. I don't know, I've begun with Liferay but currently I'm also looking on Apache Jetspeed. But the Application-Server will be Jboss 5.1. Solid like a rock and very well good documented. And I think the best maintained solution on FreeBSD my prefered Server-OS

So at all, some stuff on Liferay 6 doesn't fits my taste. Maybe Alfresco will do some jobs better on my Portal.

On http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment I've read the instructions for Jboss

And currently I'm a little bit confused. The buildscripts for ANT hasn't the in the WIKI documented targets for Jboss.

I get it with the SVN 26807 (alfresco-community-3.4.d) and also with the newest unstable HEAD.

So will be the support for Jboss removed in the future? Attlasian has did it and that's the reason why we doesn't deploy Confluence on our environments anymore.

Edit: some lines for Jboss are commented out. So why?

There's no such thing as a "JBOSS" build,  Its a java webapp which will deploy on a variety of App Servers.   Tomcat, JBoss, WebShpere included.

What you are looking for are the developer shortcuts for deploying on a tomcat.     I've no idea about the JBOSS targets,   I don't think anybody uses JBOSS to develop Alfresco on  (but I may be wrong here).   

The Enterprise version is tested on JBOSS since its one of the supported stacks.
