Interesting but...

The company has de-emphasized the product by dropping JRun from the home page on its Web site

This has always been the case since Macromedia acquired Allaire. It is available by clicking on the "More" link under Products and has recently seen Update #2 made available.

They may not be forthcoming on the plans when they intend to support J2EE 1.4, but they're certainly not going to throw out a consistent revenue stream.

Adjusting costs to more appropriately reflect the revenue generated by the product is quite likely what's happening. Many of their customers only use it for Presentation type stuff, eg. static HTML and JSP pages. Very few actually select it as their EJB or JMS container.

Just my $0.02...
