JBoss

Disambiguation

WildFly is the community edition JBoss. Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) is the subscription-backed enterprise version JBoss. Both of them are built in top of a "JBoss" code base: the package names start with "org.jboss", the Java system properties start with "org.jboss", etc. The management scripts refer to "JBOSS_HOME" and other JBOSS* environment variables, in both cases. Not sure about this, keep thinking about it: Operationally, it is best if we refer to an instance specifically as "WildFly" and "EAP", and avoid mentioning to them as "JBoss".
