<p>IDG News Service - If the community edition of the JBoss enterprise Java application server could no longer be called JBoss, what other name would you choose? JOpen? JWorker? JFree? JMinion? JBoss community users get to decide.</p><p>Red Hat is planning to change the name of the upstream community edition of JBoss, and is allowing the community to vote on the new name. Much like when Red Hat spun off the community version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and renamed it Fedora, so too will JBoss have a new name, said Jason Greene, Red Hat's principal software engineer for JBoss.</p><p>The company is also making efforts to get the application server to work more closely with NoSQL databases, starting with a Hibernate plug-in for MongoDB. The company made both announcements at the Oracle OpenWorld conference, being held this week in San Francisco.</p><p>Marc Fleury created JBoss in 1999, as a by-product of research he was doing into middleware while working at Sun Microsystems. He later formed an eponymously named company around the application server he created, which proved to be a popular choice for running enterprise Java applications, thanks to its modular design and to it being open source. Red Hat purchased JBoss in 2006 for $350 million.</p><p><a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9231907/Red_Hat_to_change_JBoss_name_for_community_version">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/299696/jboss-changes-coming-soon">JBoss changes coming soon</a> (ITworld.com)</p><p><a href="http://www.4-traders.com/RED-HAT-INC-38908/news/Red-Hat-Inc-Red-Hat-Enters-Next-Phase-of-Its-Application-Server-Technology-Strategy-15245517/">RED HAT, INC. : Red Hat Enters Next Phase of Its Application Server ...</a> (4-traders)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?pz=1&ned=us&ncl=d0GTdufYwCkDxLMZ3D9y0ehYpW_DM">18 additional articles.</a></p>
