This is the last Beta release of the *JBoss 5.0.x* series for the *Java 
EE™* 5 codebase! This release completes a big round of refactorings 
related to the
transformation of JBossAS into a pure POJO-based server. There should be 
no API changes from this point on as we move closer to a final release.

JBoss 5 is the next generation of the JBoss Application Server build on 
top of the new JBoss Microcontainer. The JBoss Microcontainer is a 
lightweight container
for managing POJOs, their deployment, configuration and lifecycle. It is 
a standalone project that replaces the famous JBoss JMX Microkernel of 
the 3.x
and 4.x JBoss series. The Microcontainer integrates nicely with the 
JBoss framework for Aspect Oriented Programming, JBoss AOP.
Support for JMX in JBoss 5 remains strong and MBean services written 
against the old Microkernel are expected to work.
