Introduction
This document tries to link to the EOL documents of vendors which offer products Openfire and Spark are using. This information should be useful for developers and administrators to make sure that only current versions are supported and installed.
The links to JDBC drivers are likely too old to point to the current JDBC driver version as new versions are released quite often.
(One may want to add more products and links, simply click on "edit" if you feel that you need to modify or add something.)
