Still no Java 8 (JDK) support for the OpenShift Wildfly 8.1 cartridge? Is this a limitation of the SELinux gear? Or can I just create a Java 8 JDK cartridge and a modified Wildfly 8 cartridge and combine them in the same gear?
As of june 3rd, there is JDK 8 support for wildfly.
See https://www.openshift.com/content/support-for-jdk-8#comment-39656
As can be read here: https://community.jboss.org/people/fjuma/blog/2014/06/03/wildfly-810final-on-openshift--with-jdk-8-support new wildfly instances from scratch will default to JDK 8.
OpenShift currently does not support JDK8 yet.
Once it will be added WildFly cartridge will be updated to add support for it.
There is also running discussion about this on wildfly-dev mailing list.

There is a requirement to generate thread and heap dumps of running Java process on a Window server. We have JDK 7 on the server, but the Java process runs using java in JRE 8. Installing JDK 8 on the server takes time due to lots of paperwork required for it (company process). The team who will be doing it insists that they need JDK 8 from Azul to generate the dumps since current java process uses Zulu JRE 8. For reasons known only to them, they do not even want to try with the tools available with JDK 7 (OpenJDK?) installed on the server. Does these versions really matter?
Question: Can I use JDK tools from any version, specifically JDK 7, to generate heap and thread dumps of the java process running from a Zulu JRE 8 environment?
The answer appears to be yes.
I just tried this on my Mac and could generate a thread dump and heap dump using the Zulu 7 version of jstack and jmap on a running instance of Zulu 8. This would indicate that jstack/jmap are not troubled by the version number of the JVM (and also seem compatible).
Certainly, from a licensing perspective, there is no issue with using tools from a Zulu 7 build on other versions of Zulu (like 8).
I have to use Restheart APIs in an OpenShift application.
I tried to execute restheart.jar as suggested in the installation and use guide, but it produced an error, due to the difference between the installed java version (openjdk 7) and the required one (oracle java 8).
Is there any trick to get Restheart APIs working in an OpenShift app?
OpenShift does not support JDK 8 but that doesn’t mean you can’t run Java 8 applications.
You can use a DIY cartridge and install your own JDK version.
We have done a proof-of-concept using Gatein 3.5 which runs well with JBoss AS7.
However, JBoss AS7 only has a community edition and we cannot proceed with it. Thus, we have to switch to JBoss 6 enterprise version.
Unfortunately, Gatein doesn't work with JBoss 6. I had raised this issue in JBoss/Gatein community and they stated that Gatein in JBoss 6 is not a good combination.
Please let me know some open source portal container which can run on JBoss 6.
Bipul, I think you misunderstood the recommendation in the forum.
You were proposed to upgrade from 3.4 (With JBoss AS 6) to 3.5 With JBoss AS 7.
If you are looking for a solution with GateIn 3.5 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, you should know that we will very soon release JBoss Portal Platform 6 that will be exactly this.
You can already download an evaluation version here:

Tomorrow (Tuesday), there is an intro to the platform: https://engage.redhat.com/forms/20130212_JBossPP_tipsandtricks?sc_cid=70160000000URk2AAG&offer_id=701600000007O1kAAE

We plan to create virtual machine to serve as a build server for our Windows Phone 8 projects. According to the official requirements the WP8 SDK runs only on Windows 8. The question is is it possible to install the VS2012 and WP8 SDK also on Windows Server 2012, or should we just use the supported Windows 8?
Note we use Hyper-V for hosting virtual machines and also we don't need the WP8 emulator on that build server.
As a possible alternative (as I haven't tested your issue of building on WS 2012), why don't you use TFS online? It allows for 5 free projects (privately hosted in the cloud). See more here: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/
More on your issue:
I have tried running the WP8 SDK on Windows 7 without any luck (but it's not supported so I understand). Also, I have tried running the WP8 SDK from a Windows 8 Virtual Machine, but the emulator did not run as Hyper-V can't run on Hyper-V without pursuing this option: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Windows_Phone_8_SDK_on_a_Virtual_Machine_with_Working_Emulator
Hope this helps in some way, shape, or form.
On my workstation are installed VS2012, WP8 SDK. All works fine.
I am newbie with WebSphere. Recently I downloaded WebSphere Community Edition version 3 (WASCE v3) but there is no description about using WASCE v3 with JSF2.0 in the guide "Getting started with WASCE". I already build my web in Apache Tomcat 7.0.11 with JSF2.0 and PrimeFaces 3.1. I am using eclipse INDIGO. Now i have to shift my server to WebSphere. Please suggest me the best version of WebSphere, which is suitable for JSF2.0 with PrimeFaces3.1?
Thank you.
WASCE 3 is a Java EE 6 container, so it has support for JSF 2.0 (if it wouldn't have this, it couldn't be called Java EE 6).
Do note that people typically don't mean WASCE when they refer to WebSphere. WASCE is another name for the server otherwise known as Apache Geronimo. The difference is that it's specifically supported by IBM.
What people do mean with WebSphere is the one you can find here: ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was
For JSF 2.0 you would need the latest version, which is version 8.
