"Our growth is a testament to the strength of the JBoss community of users, customers and partners who vote for us with their confidence and business every year," said Marc Fleury, Open Source Enterprise Conference 2006 keynoter and chairman and CEO of JBoss, Inc, as JBoss today announced its fourth quarter results for 2005.

"This last quarter closed out a record year in which JBoss exceeded all its goals in terms of customer adoption, operations and revenue," Fleury continued, adding that JBoss is "committed to delivering the most comprehensive, standards-based, open source platform for SOA, making enterprise middleware software available for the mass market and, most importantly, putting customers back in the driver's seat with our subscription-based model."

In this past quarter, JBoss made various acquisitions and releases aimed at providing its customer base with the critical components of the JEMS open source platform for SOA.

The company acquired key technology in the areas of distributed transactions and business rules and released new versions of its business process management and portal products.

The acquisition of J2EE and web services distributed transaction technology from HP and Arjuna Technologies and the Drools project, a popular open source Java business rules engine, were the highlights of the quarter – acquisitions which both support JBoss' SOA strategy, in addition to the release of JBoss jBPM 3.0 and JBoss Portal 2.2, which new releases both contained key technical features.

Wes nailed it. This is the most ridiculous title for an article of all time. JBoss needs to suck it up and go public or shut the h*** up.

This is news? Marc Fleury says "Everything's great", without any numbers to back it up, and Sys Con writes an article with a title like this? The fact is that no one outside of JBoss knows how they are doing because they are still a very small, private company. Fleury says "they exceeded their goals". What if their goal for last quarter was to only lose $1 million and they lost $500,000 instead? That's exceeding your goal! The title of this article should have been "Technology Exec Continues To Boast". Sys con should be ashamed of printing this drivel.
