[jboss-as7-dev] Cannot find jboss-as-dist-7.1.2.Final

[Jason T. Greene]

We have always had product tags and branches in our community repos. The 
difference is that we aligned the versioning between AS and EAP to make 
it easy to see the serial progression of releases. For example, EAP 
6.0.0.GA will report itself on start as something like EAP 6.0.0.GA (AS 
7.1.2-redhatX). The parens contains the actual singular version stream. 
In this case X = build number, which includes a mix of patches on top of 
7.1.2. Why is this useful? Well, if you are a user of both, which many 
of our customers are, you easily know if a set of features or bugs you 
were monitoring made it into the release (We have historically had 
support cases asking exactly this).

The other change is that we are using community JIRA for these EAP only 
version releases to make it easier for anyone (internal or external) to 
resolve an issue for both EAP and AS.

Again, the alternative would have been to call 7.1.2 something like 
JBPAPP_6_0_CHECKPOINT or something like that. In both cases if you want 
the binaries you have to get EAP.

The next community release will be 7.2.0.Alpha1, and will include 
everything in 7.1.2. We have just started working on this release as of 
last week. The tentative date is July 16th. I'll finalize that today.
