We had already reported on how to run Atlassian Confluence on GFv2. The Confluence Documentation still lists GF as "Does Not Work" so Tony just checked out again, this time with GF v3 Prelude and it Ran Successfully after increasing the heap size.

Hopefully the Documentation will get updated to record that but the ideal is still for Atlassian to formally support Confluence and JIRA on GlassFish. There are RFEs for both of them ([1], [2]) and Kohsuke recently added Cargo Support to facilitate this, but, quite reasonably, Atlassian is most interested in customer demand (see comments from Mike CB), so add your voice if you are their customer...

Kohsuke has added Cargo support for GlassFish v2. Cargo is a popular mechanism for automatic some container tasks; check out the website and their examples. A direct motivator for Cargo support was Atlassian JIRA-14604 (see Atlassian Support for GF). We will see if it helps...

Here is a neat one: Paul has complete instructions for running Confluence on MacOS X. Paul sent me the pointer to a live instance but I'm worry about overloading his Mac Mini so here is a screenshot instead. Paul also has directions on installing Roller. MacOS X seems a good match for consumer applications of GlassFish, now with GFv2 but even more with GFv3; get your MacOS X download from here (or here or here).
