Did the naming and bundling conventions change for J2EE SDK downloads from Sun ?

Tom Parson

I remember times a couple of month ago when the current J2EE SDK was named by Sun
as e.g.

j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-windows.exe (where Q2 indicates the release from the 2nd quarter)

They were bundled WITHOUT an AppServer.

When I go now to Sun's web site I can see only one

J2EE 1.4 SDK with NO release quarter/year name postfix AND with Suns AppServer included.

Is there a change in naming and bundling strategy by Sun ?
Or am I on the wrong download page (I am currently only interested on the 1.4.xx release)?

What does the postfix "FCS" mean? Is this the standard J2EE SDK bundle or are
there other non-FCS J2EE SDKs as well?

What if I want to develop J2EE applications for JBoss AppServer:
Is there a J2EE SDK version without Suns AppServer or how do I switch
internal settings to JBoss?

"First Customer Ship", which I believe is the *first true release", aka
after the last "RC", but before any "bug fix releases"... ;-)
What if I want to develop J2EE applications for JBoss AppServer:

I would use the libraries shipped with JBoss, and *not* the J2EE
distribution from Sun.

I'm not sure what you mean with "switch internal settings to JBoss"...

If you simply have the jars from JBoss on your classpath, there wouldn't be
any problem.

How you get them onto your classpath depends in turn on what development
environment you're using, but in many of them you have the options to create
more than one development configurations. Then I'd suggest you make one for
developing JBoss applications, including those libraries in the classpath
for that configuration.
