Combining Platform and Enterprise Features in One Edition (Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Release Notes)

Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Release Notes

Combining Platform and Enterprise Features in One Edition

In an effort to streamline our product delivery, we are combining the Platform and Enterprise Edition of Sun Java Message Queue. Beginning with Message Queue 3.7 UR1, there will only be a single edition available, which effectively removes the feature restrictions in the stand-alone distribution. We hope this will simplify your experience with this product.

Combining editions also aligns Message Queue better with Solaris Enterprise System and provides a perpetual broad-based right to use Enterprise Edition features, with no support, maintenance, or indemnity. As with previous releases, we will continue to offer several licensing options for support and maintenance services. Message Queue will continue to be packaged with Java Enterprise System and the Application Platform Suite. Please check the online store at http://www.sun.com or consult your sales representative to find an option that best suits your needs. The next table describes the upgrade paths to the new single edition of Message Queue.
