I couldn't see much on the Jboss documentation. Can I use wildfly version 26.0.1 and undertow 2.2.14. Or is there a better match for Jboss 7.4?
Thanks
TL;DR
If you need the application server, it is:
WildFly 23
If you need artifacts, this is for JBoss EAP 7.4.5:
Undertow 2.2.17.SP4-redhat-00001
WildFly Core 15.0.13.Final-redhat-00001
There is also a runtime BOM for the artifacts delivered with JBoss EAP.

Long version
As Doug Grove
already described, there is an article in the Red Hat Knowledgebase that lists the different JBoss EAP versions with the integrated components. However, starting from JBoss EAP 7.x, the component versions of only one non-described JBoss EAP patch version are listed per JBoss EAP minor version.
For JBoss EAP 7.4, the article states (as of 06/22/2022):
Undertow 2.2.5.Final
WildFly Core 15.0.2.Final
If you want to have the versions for all shipped artifacts of a specific JBoss EAP patch, Red Hat offers a Maven BOM file:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jboss.bom/eap-runtime-artifacts
For JBoss EAP 7.4.5, it states:
Undertow 2.2.17.SP4-redhat-00001
WildFly Core 15.0.13.Final-redhat-00001
(Red Hat specific versions from the Redhat GA repository)
However, it is important to note, that the listed WildFly Core version is not the same as the WildFly application server version. If you compare the version of WildFly Core used in the WildFly 23 Undertow artifact with the one in the JBoss EAP Runtime BOM, you will notice that JBoss EAP 7.4 uses the same Core as WildFly 23 application server.
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.wildfly/wildfly-undertow/23.0.2.Final
Or see the POM file of WildFly 23:
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/23.0.0.Final/pom.xml#L473
Therefore JBoss EAP 7.4 corresponds roughly to WildFly 23.
Redhat lists components for JBoss EAP 7.4 as:
Undertow 2.2.5.Final
Wildfly Core 15.0.2.Final
Is that what you are looking for?
Does JBoss migration tool support migration from JBoss AS 4.2.3 to WildFly 14?
Can anyone please give me the main difference between JBoss AS 7 and WildFly 8?
I'm going to start a very important project and I have to choose between JBoss AS 7 and WildFly 8 (for this project I'm going to use GWT, JPA/Hibernate and jBPM 6).
WildFly 8 is the next iteration of the JBoss application server after JBoss AS 7 / EAP 6.
Basically:
JBoss AS 7.x = JEE6
JBoss EAP 6.x = JEE6
WildFly 8.x = JEE7
Red Hat typically backports security fixes from newer versions into older versions, Red Hat also typically releases "feature packs" that allow you to access newer features/specs.
So if it is a very important project and you do not need JEE7 specs, you may want to use JBoss EAP which is the productized version of JBoss AS 7.
Otherwise you may want to use WildFly if you need the more cutting edge specs and features.

See JBoss AS / WildFly versions history for more details.
WildFly is the new name of JBoss AS so that the company JBoss and the application server JBoss cannot induce confusion anymore.
Think of WildFly 8 as JBoss AS 8, just with a different name.
JBoss 7 is an implementation of JavaEE 6.
WildFly 8 is an implementation of JavaEE 7.
The JBoss application server is the "commercialized" version of the community Wildfly application server. Red Hat offers support contracts for JBoss and has a long term maintenance schedule for JBoss.
The versions are also different. JBoss EAP 6 corresponds to Wildfly 7.
I am installing JBoss but I don't understand which version to choose. Should I download JBoss 7.x or the JBoss EAP 6.x? What is the difference?
TLDR; out of those options, pick the latest EAP 6.x Alpha.
Note that Wildfly was released 11.2.2014, which is now the preferred version.
The long story:
Previously, JBoss community edition was free for all, and EAP was the enterprise version for which you'd need a commercial subscription for. In return you'd get commercial support for it as well. However, with later version things changed a bit and this is no longer exactly so.
JBoss AS7 is JBoss version 7.1. For JBoss 7.2 version, they released it as JBoss EAP 6.1 Alpha, so that is the updated community version. Alpha is free to use in any way or form. They have also released JBoss EAP 6.1 (the commercial version), for which you need a subscription for. If you take a look at the download page, you see the versions together with the release dates:
Version Release date
6.1.0 Final 2013-05-20
6.1.0 Beta 2013-04-19
6.1.0 Alpha 2013-03-07
7.1.1.Final 2012-03-09
6.1.0 Final and 6.1.0 Beta binaries are for commercial purposes and require a paid subscription to be run in production environments.
There are some considerable improvements in 7.2, and 7.1 is very old already, so for 7.x community version you want JBoss EAP 6.1 Alpha or later 6.x Alpha.

Update 20.7.2015: since writing the previous answer, JBoss EAP 6.1 Alpha has been superseded by newer JBoss 6.x EAP Alphas in the AS7 product line, latest being JBoss EAP 6.4 Alpha (see "view older downloads"). Statements about 6.1 Alpha release cover all other Alpha releases in EAP 6.X product line as well, so no reason to go for 6.1 Alpha anymore, but to latest 6.x Alpha.
Also, previous download page has been changed to not include EAP releases anymore. They can be found only at EAP download page, and it doesn't even contain 6.1 Alpha anymore.
And finally: JBoss 7.x line is nowadays superseded by Wildfly and EAP 6.x line by EAP 7.
JBoss AS 7.x is a community release that represents a potential enterprise version. At Red Hat, we do not use the JBoss AS names anymore because it adds to the confusion. All future JBoss AS as been renamed Wildfly and they do not correspond to a JBoss Enterprise Application Server release (you'll notice that we skip version numbers as we see fit).
JBoss Enterprise Application Server (EAP) x will also align to the Java EE spec. So JBoss EAP 6 is JavaEE 6. JBoss EAP 7 is JavaEE 7. Because EAP is the enterprise release, it will always be the most "mature", harden product and will include fixes that are not available in the community version.
There are two versions: Jboss AS (Application Server) and JBoss EAP (Enterprise Application Platform).
JBoss AS is a community version. Personnaly, I never used EAP but I never used JBoss in a production context.. it seams that EAP is designed to be more stable.
There are informations here: http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/beta500/html/ch01s01s01.html
JBoss EAP 6.x is not free (without subscription fee) for Test/QA/Production environments. For more details please look at this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/37728525/466677
My understanding is this: JBoss EAP 6.1.0 Final is basically Jboss AS 7.2 but you are not unable to download a binary version of JBoss AS 7.2, you must get the code and build it yourself. There are binary versions for JBoss EAP 6.1.0 but you would need a license (which include support etc.).
There are also source distributions available. Jboss 7.1.2 which I understand corresponds pretty exactly to EAP 6.0 and Jboss 7.1.3 which I believe corresponds to EAP6.1
They actually aren't too hard to compile yourself, even on Windows!
I have jboss EAP 5.1 .I want to know which eclipse works with this jboss version. Does eclipse 3.6 Helios work with Jboss EAP 5.1? Can struts 1.1 be run in jboss EAP 5.1?
I use Indigo and it has entries for JBoss EAP 5.x in it's list of supported services. It will run struts 1.1. as well.
