> JBoss is releasing binary versions of concurrent.jar which is partially copyrighted by Sun, see the license at <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/sun-u.c.license.pdf>. Unfortunately that is a 'non-transferable' license and the sublicensing clause is quite restricted. This license is probably not open source and not compatible with the LGPL.
> This can be easily solved by dropping concurrent.jar and switching to java.util.concurrent which is available from Sun, OpenJDK and classpath. That is even recommended by Doug Lea.
> Cheers,
> Torsten
