GlassFish in Debian
Right before last week's packaging team meeting, Minnesota Tom sent out a note that GlassFish was in Debian contrib. How it got there we don't know but we're stoked (yes I did grow up in Hawaii during the 70's, why do you ask?) Ahh, the beauty of Free Software.
Now we haven't analyzed the packages yet but as Tom pointed out the packagers have gotten around the Maven build dependency by replacing it with ant. So Glassfish is now a part of "Lenny" (all their release codenames are characters from the movie Toy Story) which is currently due out the second half of 2008.
The care package
Speaking of Debian, last week I received a care package that they put together for all of the sponsors of Debconf 7. There were a couple of cool Debian shirts, one from the event and one from HP, a hardcopy of the final report, an O'Reilly book etc. etc. But what was super cool and now is up on my wall, is a 6" x 10" swatch of the Debian kilt (learn more and see Mr. Steve McIntyer modeling it here).
The current release and the real deal:
My room at the W came with the Etch a Sketch and I couldn't pass up the photo opp.
Pau for now....
Hi, i've installed that packages, but Netbeans 6 does not recognized my Glassfish Server, how can i add to Netbeans List servers?
Thanks

John, assuming you have the full NetBeans 6 installation, please go to the Services tab, right-click the Servers | GlassFish V2 node, select Properties... you should be able to specify the parameters for your GlassFish installation there.
In case you don't have a full NB installation, please make sure you download the "Web Applications" and "GlassFish" plugins from the NetBeans update center first (Tools | Plugins | Available Plugins).
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your replies, Jan, Netbeans 6 also was "apt-getable" so, that debian package only install IDE without Glassfish Server, Glassfish Package from Debian repositories only have .jar files, i guess it does not install full server, only libraries.
