Chapter 2. Understanding channels in JBoss EAP

The jboss-eap-installation-manager provides a streamlined and controlled pathway to access the most recent supported versions of JBoss EAP components. These streamlined and controlled pathways are called channels. A channel consists of a curated list of component versions (called channel manifest) and a collection of repositories used to resolve and retrieve those components. Each repository has a unique name (id) and a default Maven repository URL. The jboss-eap-installation-manager allows you to manage these channels effectively in both stand-alone and managed domain configurations.
