GlassFish works on Windows Vista!

GlassFish on Vista GlassFish works on Windows Vista!
I have tried to build GlassFish V2 on Windows Vista OS and able to build and start the server successfully.
The build versions of GlassFish and Vista are as below:

GlassFish Build :
Product : glassfish 9.1
Version : ea build b19
Date : Wed Sep 27 20:41:22 2006

Windows Visa(TM) RC1
For testing purposes only. Build 5734

I ran following steps to build GlassFish on Windows Vista.

Download, install JDK 1.5.0_08 and add JAVA_HOME and PATH from Systems/Env. Variables.
Download, install Maven 1.0.2 and add MAVEN_HOME and PATH from c:\sun\myenv.bat
Download, install TortoiseCVS for cvs client.
Setup %HOMEPATH%\build.properties to have following values

glassfish.os.name=WINNT
glassfish.cvs.username=<java.net-id>

Logged in to java.net cvs once and checked out glassfish/bootstrap module using commands below:

cvs -d :pserver:<java.net-id>@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login

cvs -d :pserver:<java.net-id>@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs co glassfish/bootstrap

Start GlassFish build

cd c:\sun\ws\glassfish\bootstrap
maven bootstrap-all checkout build

Build complete, configured and started GlassFish server as below

maven configure-cluster
cd ..\..\publish\glassfish\bin
asadmin start-domain --user admin --port 4848 domain1 <enter adminadmin as password>

All the above steps are documented in GlassFish Quickstart.

Here is the GlassFish on Vista screenshot!

And of course, you don't need to build/rebuild glassfish to use it. Binary downloads work just as well ;-)
