Or is it because the Geronimo developers feel they can provide a better J2EE implemenation than JBoss? Both? Neither? From the project home page: " The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of J2EE developers tasked with the development of an open source, certified J2EE server, that is ASF licensed and passes Sun's TCK reusing the best ASF/BSD licensed code available today and adding new code to complete the J2EE stack." http://incubator.apache.org/geronimo/ -- Jeremy
