JBoss is community driven so it is completely free?
and
JBoss itself works within kernel space or user space
JBoss is a company, not a product, and is a subsidiary of RedHat.
JBoss Application Server is open-source and is released in unsupported community edition, as well as commercially-supported Enterprise Application Platform edition.
Like any java application, JBossAS runs in user space.

Download JBoss EAP or WildFly
PicketLink can be used on both servers.
Use the PicketLink Installer to configure them with the latest version
of the PicketLink modules and libraries.
Does this implicit mean
it will work on my Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform - Version 6.4.5.GA?
I can't find any further information about version support, maybe someone has experiences and could give me a hint.
Solution
System Requirements
Make sure your environment is properly configured
as follows:
Java 1.6 or Java 1.7 PicketLink Federation Quickstarts JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform 6 or WildFly Servers.

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.
Do fatwire has its own app server?
Or it use any standard app servers like Apache tomcat
(I dont mean jump start kit)
In theory, it can run on any Java EE compliant application server, but I always found it easiest to run on Tomcat since it's easier to setup and administer; and it's FoC.
From memory, the JSK used to use JBoss but was switched to use Tomcat in a later incarnation
WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat, JBoss are all supported.
For a list of officially supported software for Oracle Web Center Sites(formerly FatWire Content Server), refer to this certification matrix : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/sites/owcs-11gr1certmatrix-1609746.xls
Prior to acquisition by Oracle, the JSK was bundled with JBoss and Tomcat server instances and it was possible to select one or the other as the deployment platform.
Now it only ships with Tomcat 6.
Fatwire hasn't its own app server but it can be deployed on Apache Tomcat, JBoss, IBM WAS, WebLogic, Sun Java Enterprise System or Oracle Application Server.
What can JBoss EAP do that JBoss ESP cannot? or vice verse?
Is it correct to say JBoss EAP is a subset of JBoss ESP? Meaning JBoss ESP has all the features JBoss EAP has, plus the SOA stuff?
This is the answer JBoss emailed to me.
JBoss SOA-P is a superset of JBoss EAP. Details such as version numbers are listed at http://www.jboss.com/products/platforms/soa/components/, but SOA-P is EAP plus an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Business Process Management engine (jBPM) and a Rules engine (Drools).
The SOA Platform can do everything that the underlying version of EAP can do.
I need to set up an Eclipse WTP project pointing to a WAS V7 instance but I can't find the server adapter to work with version 7. Version 6 is supported.
I believe this answer comes late in the day, but it is put down to help others understand how WTP support for WebSphere works in Eclipse.
WTP support for the newer versions of the WebSphere Application Server come only with commercial IDEs - Rational Application Developer, for example. MyEclipse is another IDE that comes with support for WAS 7; one would need the Blue Edition to work against a v7.0 WAS instance.
The philosophy is that if the vanilla Eclipse WTP project has to support an application server, then the application server vendor must either provide the adapter or some means to perform the integration. For obvious reasons, this is absent for WAS 6.1 and 7.0, but available for 6.0.
This was the case, but IBM has since release WebSphere Application Server tools edition and has donated a server adapter to the Eclipse market place. This will cover WAS 7, 8 and 8.5 alpha.

This was the case, but IBM has since release WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools and has donated a server adapter to the Eclipse market place. This covers WAS 7, 8 and 8.5 alpha.

WebSphere Developer Tools are available via Eclipse marketplace. I am using it right now with WAS 8.5 and Eclipse version: 2019-12 (4.14.0)
