EclipseCon
started earlier today and we are announcing the availbility of GlassFish
Tools Bundle for Eclipse.
Eclipse and GlassFish in one single download bundle, available
here. Here are simple steps to get you started ...
- Download the binary for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux (Open
Solaris coming) and install ...
- Start up the GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse ...
- GlassFish v2.1 and v3 Prelude are pre-bundled and
pre-configured ...
- Right-click on v2.1 and view the server log in the Console
...
- Integrated web-based Amin Console, Update Center, View Log
File, and many other features ...
The screencast #28 shows how to create simple applications and deploy them on GlassFish using Eclipse. More details about creating these applications is available here. The Clingan Zone also explained the highlights of the newly released bundle.
And BTW, if you have an earlier version of the plug-in, you can just update it as explained in TOTD #66.
Send your questions to users@glassfishplugins.dev.java.net.

Here are some quotes from a recent
article talking about Oracle's
maintenance and support fees:
Before Oracle acquired
BEA earlier this year, the company charged 18% to 20% for support and
maintenance. Oracle increased those fees to meet its own structure and
also raised list prices on most BEA products.
That didn't sit well.
and
One Java-centric VAR,
who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said some of his BEA WebLogic
customers are moving to alternative application servers just to get
away from Oracle.
and
"What company comes in
this climate and not only jacks up prices but support prices as well?"
asked one frustrated BEA customer, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity.
and
"Many SAP and Oracle
customers intend to push back their maintenance fees," he said.
"Customers seek an option to just pay for tax and compliance updates
without paying for future innovation. They are willing to pay for
future modules when that time comes. If they can't access such options,
they would prefer third party options like Rimini Street for Oracle
[E-Business Suite] and SAP's applications."
Have you been bitten by Oracle's price raise ?
Interested in an industry-grade, highly performant, feature-rich, and
open source alternative ?
GlassFish and MySQL together provide an excellent
choice - give it a try!
