I recently started working on the wildfly migration and this is completely new for me.
I have searched on the web but did not find relevant data,
Here I need the list of the wildfly and their equivalent JBoss versions. so, I can choose the dependencies accordingly.
If you've got a Red Hat account there is a listing in the knowledge base. For a list of components in JBoss EAP there is a public listing.

I am trying to get singe sign-on to work with WildFly-prevew 26.0.1. I found a tutorial WildFly Elytron - Add Kerberos Authentication To Existing Web Application by Darran Lofthouse.
After it did not work I searched for further resources and found How to Set Up SSO for JBoss EAP with Kerberos. There is a JBoss Negotiation Toolkit mentioned. It is said that yout should use the same version of the toolkit as the JBoss Negotiation included in JBoss EAP (EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/security/negotiation/main/module.xml).
Sadly I did not find the folder EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/security/negotiation in the Wildfly 26.0.1-preview. At first I thought that it may be an JBoss EAP feature not included in WildFly. But actually the folder is included in WildFly 24.0.1. Starting with version 25.0.0, the folder is missing. And starting with version 26.0.0.Beta, the whole EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/security folder is missing.
So my question is weather this is a bug or a feature (maybe it migrated to another module). And if it is a bug, may it be a reason my single sign-on is not working?
In a WildFly 25 release post (https://www.wildfly.org/news/2021/10/05/WildFly25-Final-Released/) it is said that
We deprecated the use of legacy security long ago and in the WildFly 25 release we have removed support for it.
Most probably that is the reason these packages are missing.
The current Drools documentation (7.47.0) says on chapter 14 that one should use the WAR from the Business Central Workbench distribution corresponding to the application server in use and explicitly refers to Wildfly and JBoss EAP 7 as available options.
However, only the Wildfly WAR of Business Central 7.47.0 is available from the official Drools download page and from the Maven repository.
Can anyone please point me how to obtain the WAR for JBoss EAP 7? Is it otherwise possible to easily build it directly from source?
Wildfly is upstream project and JBoss EAP is downstream / productized one, fully supported by Red Hat. It's based on WildFly though.
The same relationship exists between Drools and Red Hat Decision Manager (RHDM).
I would recommend to stick with Drools and Wildfly unless you are Red Hat paying customer.
If you are paying customer, then you should use RHDM+EAP. It's possible to use RHDM+EAP for development purposes for free though:

I would have added this to another thread, but I am unable to comment on other's posts. And what I read did not answer my question. I just installed EAP 7.2.0.GA. In the console log, it says:
JBoss EAP 7.2.0.GA (WildFly Core 6.0.11.Final-redhat-00001)
However, others think it is around version 13. And when I look at the releases of wildfly ( http://wildfly.org/downloads/ ) a version 6 is so old it does not even show up and would have been prior to 2014...
So, how can it be 6.0.11.Final?
WildFly core is just a component in WildFly application server.
As such is also used in JBoss EAP which is a downstream product based on WildFly AS.
WildFly core is standalone project which provides most of core capabilities (management, cli, administration, subsystem infrastructure...) of the application server without any Java EE support, that is added to it by WildFly project.
you can see the sources for both at
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/
as for your confusion.
WildFly core 6.0.x is used in EAP 7.1 as well as in WildFly 14
which you an see also in the sources https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/14.0.0.Final/pom.xml#L375
micro version is not always exactly the same, as in the process of building downstream product of EAP, extra patches can be added.
WildFly Core is a component in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 (EAP 7). So, this log means:
JBoss EAP 7.2 - JBoss EAP in version 7.2
GA - General availability
WildFly Core 6.0.11.Final - component WildFly Core in version 6.0.11.Final.

I am going to start a new enterprise application. Which version I wanted to use?
Is it EAP 6.2.0 GA(EAP built from AS 7.3) or JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final or Wildfly 8.1.0.Final? I am very confused about these versions. when do i have to download EAP 6.2.0?
Also, why wildfly is not avaialbe on http://jbossas.jboss.org/downloads/? why?
I was having the impression that wildfly and jboss8 as are same. If both are same,
why it is not avalible in the downloads of above link?
the community version of JBoss has been renamed to Wildfly and can be found here: http://wildfly.org/downloads/. EAP 6.2 is the commercial version of JBoss provided by RedHat for which you get professional support by them.
Which version you choose depends on your requirements and whether you are willing to spend money for it ;) But if you are going with the community version, it wouldn't make sense to start with JBoss AS 7 since Wildfly 8 provides Java EE 7 support, JBoss AS 7 not. I've recently migrated a huge industry-strength project to Wildfly and am very surprised by the new application server. Nevertheless, with my current experience, I would recommend to go with EAP and professional support for large projects that utilize the whole Java EE stack. The only drawback there is that EAP 6 doesn't support Java EE 7 yet.
Jboss EAP is Red Hat product while wildfly is community version. Latest EAP version available currently is EAP 7.1.2, you will have to buy Red Hat subscription to use the same. Wildfly is opensource community version for the same, which you download and use freely.
Which version to be used will depend completely on your project requirement and budget. EAP would be more stable and tested product which can be used for critical production applications, also Red Hat will provide complete support if you purchase the subscription.
But if you have budget constraints and want to use free application server wildfly can be used.
I am new to JBoss application server. when I go for download the application server in the website. I am seeing the below servers list in the top
EAP built from AS 7.3.
EAP 6.2 Maven Repository.
EAP 6.2 Quickstarts.
kindly help me. Which is the best one. otherwise, shall I go for any other open source application server.
Thanks
I don't want to make any comment about these things you mentioned. But I can share my experience with you.
Jboss 5.1: It was good.
Jboss 7.1: I faced a problem with log4j issue. Its very complicated.
EAP 6.2: Its much stable than 7.1. my log4j problem is solved with this version.
So, it totally depends upon how deep you want to use jboss.
