Apache Geronimo To Miss August 6 Launch Date Target

Geir Magnusson Jr, chair of the Apache Software Foundation's Geronimo project, has said that it won't manage to release the code for what, when complete and certified, will be be the world's third open-source Java application server in time for its its target release date - until now - of August 6.

Instead, Geronimo will first take its place alongside JOnAS and JBoss later this year, once the code has been completed and after it has undergone the meticulous process of J2EE certification.

Developers and enterprises looking forward to the release of the Geronimo application server for free under Apache's open-source license will therefore have to wait a few weeks, says Magnusson.

This is an ambitious goal and will present a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of technologies covered by the specification. Apache Geronimo builds upon the many Java projects at the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, the project is bringing together members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB communities. We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to join the community and build a world-class J2EE imp...

It's not like we're waiting for a product release by some company featuring hosted cocktails for the press. A release is more like, this is the tag, here's a tarball that happens to match the tag.
