Did the naming and bundling conventions change for J2EE SDK downloads from Sun ?

I remember times a couple of month ago when the current J2EE SDK was named by Sun
as e.g.

j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-windows.exe (where Q2 indicates the release from the 2nd quarter)

They were bundled WITHOUT an AppServer.

When I go now to Sun's web site I can see only one

J2EE 1.4 SDK with NO release quarter/year name postfix AND with Suns AppServer included.

Is there a change in naming and bundling strategy by Sun ?
Or am I on the wrong download page (I am currently only interested on the 1.4.xx release)?

What does the postfix "FCS" mean? Is this the standard J2EE SDK bundle or are
there other non-FCS J2EE SDKs as well?

What if I want to develop J2EE applications for JBoss AppServer:
Is there a J2EE SDK version without Suns AppServer or how do I switch
internal settings to JBoss?
