JBoss Portal is 100% Pure Java™, and therefore it is interoperable with most operating systems capable of running a Java Virtual Machine (JVM™), including Linux®, Windows®, UNIX® operating systems, and Mac OS X.

JBoss Portal 2.7.1 is tested with JBoss Application Server (AS) JBoss AS 4.2.3, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 4.2 and JBoss EAP 4.3. It is highly recommended that customers who have access to the JBoss Customer Support Portal (CSP) use JBoss EAP 4.3. Customers who do not have access to the JBoss CSP should use JBoss AS.

Warning
