A doubt on the definition.
1. A lot of clients (mostly American and European) with whom I work
with do use Linux and a few Apache products. When i say they use
Linux, they use it as the base OS for their servers to run on. They
run IBM Websphere server on a RedHat. The end user is not even aware
of these. Infact many Java projects are executed this way. They either
use a Linux box or a AIX/HPUX/Solaris box. But most of the test
environments are on Linux and some (read many) production environments
are either Linux or any of the *NIX.
Do these qualify?
2. A lot of organizations (still sticking on to Java/J2EE) use Apache
TomCat, RedHat - JBOSS and Eclipse IDE for their servers/development
environments. Do these qualify as well? Even those running Websphere/
Weblogic may still be using Eclipse.
PS: I work for a SWITCH company. And most of the work we do are not
commercial products, but are still proprietary that are to be used
only within the organization.
