How to apply JDK 6 patch to JBoss

I have JBoss 4.2.0GA which primarily does not support JDK 6. I found JBossWithJDK6 Patch. How can I apply this patch. I have ant开发者_运维问答 installed in Ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

You can use a diff tool to apply the patch (open it in a text editor to see the details). You'll need to download the JBoss source, apply the patch and compile your own version of JBoss. It's probably a lot easier to just install JDK5. ;-)

RedHat do not officially support Java6 with JBossAS 4.2.x, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work - it actually works fine. The patch you mentioned is to allow you to build JBoss from source against Java6, you shouldn't need it just to run it.
