Apologies for the delay getting back to this. Very good point made Sanne.

We could try to remove single jar for Infinispan 4.1 and 5.0 pre releases and see what people's reaction is.

Quick note on this. Stefano Maeste and a colleague of his have been working on an sample Infinispan app that you can deploy in AS 4.x, 5.x and 6.x. They've promised to write a wiki on this. I keep bugging them about it :)

Note that at this point I dunno whether the example is clustered or not and this is key since Infinispan uses diff JGroups to the one shipped with 4.x or 5.x, so isolation or similar would be needed here.

Finally, wrt AS integration and Infinispan 2LC, I made a very clear statement now in http://community.jboss.org/wiki/usinginfinispanasjpahibernatesecondlevelcacheprovider#Integration_with_JBoss_Application_Server

Hibernate 3.5 does not work with AS 5.x or lower (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5304), so can't have Infinispan 2LC there.
