    The switch to a different default shell in the terminal application has nothing to do with any shell commands that are included for administration of the computer.

    Any shell program/script that is written by anyone who knows anything about writing shells programs/scripts will contain a shebang as the first line. The syntax look like this:
    #!/bin/sh
    This specially formatted line tells the OS what program (in that case the "sh" shell) will be able to interpret this file properly. No matter what the "default" shell is, no matter what shell you are actually running when you type the command name, the program will be run with the shell specified in that line.
    Ex: most perl programs have #!/usr/bin/perl or #!/usr/local/bin/perl

    For the Mac savvy this is really equivilant to the "creator" field in a file's meta information.

    So, a few quotes: ...so I can't find any info on them yet...

    Google first hit:
    It seems to be an InterfaceBuilder-integration component; you can create various "controller" objects in IB and form various bindings/glue that would previously have had to be done programmatically. Apparently, this is resurrected functionality from EnterpriseObjectsFramework... ...NSController seems to be a bridge that plugs the M into the V of MVC. EG, its a C of MVC that automagically has tables filled from arrays, etc.

    I'd say that's more than "no info".

    JBoss is an Open Source J2EE Application Server, that directly competes with the expensive offerings from BEA (WebLogic) and IBM (WebSphere) to name the top two.

    JBoss has had a hard time getting Sun certification as J2EE compliant, but now that it has been certified, OS X Server 10.3 + JBoss + Apple's Server Tools should make the XServe rather attractive to J2EE shops.

    Here is a complete hardware solution, for less than the cost of a Weblogic licence!
