It produced an open source Java application server called JBoss and later JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as well as a suite of related products.

JBoss Group, LLC was incorporated in 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia.

It was a C corporation headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that owned the copyright and trademarks associated with JBoss.

In early 2006 Oracle Corporation, a major distributor of database software, sought to buy JBoss Inc. for an estimated $400 million.

The acquisition would have enabled Oracle to compete with rivals BEA Systems and IBM in the middleware market (Oracle eventually acquired BEA in April 2008).
