title: Version of JBoss for jdk 1.7
body: <p>A couple of years ago JBoss was free and was maintained(from what I remember). Today <a href="http://jbossas.jboss.org/downloads" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> I see that they are no longer maintaining the free versions. There is a link on the same page asking to download EAP or Wildfly. </p>
  
  <p>What is my next option on getting my hands on the free JBoss? (and which supports jdk 1.7) </p>
  
  <p>Update: From the post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/20792646/258741">here</a> I gather that I can use 5.1.0, 6.1.0 and 7.1.1 for deploying applications with Jdk 1.7. I'm rooting towards 6.1.0 as it is more recent than 5.1.0. Is 6.1.0 stable enough to run the applications? </p>
  
  <p>Update:  I can download one of the jboss from the site, but they are not maintained. To re-clarify, i'm looking for maintained and free jboss if there is any. </p>
