"well, not that great stuff. Redhat was already givin J2EE support through Jonas, a very capable J2EE app server . now posibly they will stop supporting it.."
There's no reason why RH can't continue to support both, giving customers a choice.
The revenue from supporting RHEL, Jonas, or JBoss is all good, afterall.
Also, as good or bad as Jonas might be (I have no idea), the fact is it doesn't have near the amount of customers, usage, or mindshare JBoss does.
But in the end, Jonas will probably become the second choice, and a bit of the "red-headed step child" in the RH portfolio, in terms of promotion/sales. Nevertheless, that won't stop people from using it, if they prefer it.
