Installing Packages on OpenSolaris

Hi all,

I've been working more on my cloud computing course. I'm working on a module for creating a custom OpenSolaris AMI. In a couple of the steps, the user installs software on his virtual machine. It was so easy to do.

JDK 6.

pkg install SUNWj6dev

MySQL.

pkg install SUNWmysql

Apache Ant.

pkg install SUNWant

GlassFish. This is a little tricker:

1. Download GlassFish:

   wget  http://java.net/download/javaee5/v2.1_branch/promoted/SunOS_X86/glassfish-installer-v2.1-b60e-sunos_x86.jar

2. Install GlassFish:

   java -Xmx256m -jar glassfish-installer-v2.1-b60e-sunos_x86.jar

3. Click "A: or "a" to accept the license.

I wish everything were this easy.

Cheers!

--James
