What is the exact name of the EAP file you downloaded? It should have been something like this: jboss-eap-4.3.0.GA-1.ep1.8.zip (wow, mine's a year old, I'll should download another) This is a binary download, no need to compile anything. If you downloaded and built the source, then JBOSS_HOME is at downloaded-src-dir/jboss-as/build/output/jboss-xxx, (where xxx is the evrsion number), and the bin directory under there contains run.sh.
