IBM WebSphere Liberty Core 8.5.5 vs Red Hat JBoss EAP 6.2
Here is an excellent video comparing IBM WebSphere Liberty Core 8.5.5 with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2:
Even though its a short video but the summary is shown in snapshot captured from the video:
A complete TCO analysis on JBoss EAP vs IBM WebSphere is available here. A quick summary from the paper is:
We compared these products as objectively as possible, utilizing people that were expert in each, and concluded that JBoss EAP is the clear winner over WebSphere AS ND with a 50.91% lower TCO, easier application development characteristics, noteworthy operational ease-of-use advantages, and a smaller footprint.
And another detailed comparison is here.
Enjoy!

Thank you for this content. I am writing my diploma thesis about migrating enterprise applications in the Java EE area and I also want to show the differences of the major server providers. In addition to that, I will also try to actually migrate a real enterprise application from WebSphere AS to JBoss EAP(I already consider it the winner in my comparison).
Do you think you can provide me with more resources that I use for that paper?
Beikov,
You can also look at http://wildfly.org/news/2014/02/06/GlassFish-to-WildFly-migration/ that shows how to migrate applications from GlassFish to WildFly.
Also look at WindRide that assists in migrating JBoss EAP 5, AS 5, or AS 6 server configuration to JBoss EAP 6, AS7, or WildFly 8. The tool analyzes the server configuration files, produces a Windup style HTML report highlighting areas that require changes, and performs the migration.
Windup is a tool to simplify Java ® application migrations

Thank you, I already knew about Windup and I will definitely include that in my thesis. Unfortunately the hard part of my actual application migration won’t be related to configuration but with the migration of EJB 1.x parts
I guess there is no tool you know about that helps me with that? I am already considering writing such a tool myself because I couldn’t find something satisfying yet.
EJB 1.x is QUITE old
I doubt you’ll find any tools to help you migrate from that version so writing one would be useful. Think about how many people would need such a tool though.
Free J2EE/JEE migration plugin for Eclipse and migration methodology are described in this blog post: http://whywebsphere.com/2012/02/22/websphere-migration-workshop/
Where does it mention that plugin? This is only about migrating from WLS to WAS…
Christian, the migration plugin download and instructions are posted here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/downloads/migtoolkit/compmig.html
