Browsing the internet, I found the following describing on how to setup JBoss as a Windows service - http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBossNativeWindows I was able to successfully install it as a service. The weird and ANNOYING issue is that when I stop the service from within the Services administrative tool, it causes the machine to power down. Am I missing something here? This is MOST annoying.
