JBoss Application Server 7 or JBoss AS 7

Some guides use "JBoss Application Server 7". There is also some inconsistency with using "the JBoss Application Server". I think we should pick one of these (my vote is "JBoss Application Server" with no preceding definite article, you would still want to use a definite article when referring to "the application server" - the difference being that we are using a description of the project, not the project name).
