Well JBoss is not even a single product it's a bunch of products - see 
http://www.jboss.org/projects/matrix.  And both projects have to improve and 
colaborate to get things working. On our(Fedora) site we have a long way to go 
before having maven 3 working, rpm maven  autoprovides/requires and so on and 
so on to make it easier for contributors.
