I hear an updated version of the IzPack installer is on its way...
NetBeans 6.1 is also available in final version and it offers several bundles that include GlassFish. JavaScript support looks really good there. For more on this release, please read this earlier post.

Today we completed updating Sun's server-side SDKs to GlassFish v2 U1. The last one was the Java Application Platform, which includes additional components beyond those in the Java EE SDK. Check out Siraj's Note, and the new, very clear, Download Page. And, meantime, in another part of the forest... Roman announces the Release of NetBeans 6.0.1, mostly a BugFix release, with one of the main changes being formal support for GlassFish v2 U1. |
GlassFish v2 U1 rules! :-)

Updated versions of Java EE SDK and Java Application Platform SDK (overview) are now available for download. These new versions bundle JDK 6 and are fully tested with JDK 6 as well as JDK 5.0. In addition, the Java Application Platform SDK includes Access Manager (7.1 Beta), JBI Runtime with BPEL from project Open ESB and a beta version of Portlet Container to enable development and testing of JSR 168 portlets. Developer content such as Java EE 5 samples, blueprints, tutorial and API javadocs are also included. |
SJS Application Server (9.0 Update 1 Patch 1) based on Project Glassfish is included in the SDK. It contains a performance bugfix that enables record-breaking price/performance on the application tier with SPECjAppServer result of 521.42 JOPS@Standard, 19% improvement from the previous version 8.2 - see Scott's latest blog for all the details.
The Java EE Tools bundle has also been refreshed to use the Java Application Platform SDK Update 2. Check the download page; the Chinese and Japanese regional downloads will be updated very soon.

Sun has added a new Java EE-related download bundle, the Java Application Platform SDK. This first release of the new SDK adds Access Manager functionality to the traditional Java EE SDK; future releases will add more functionality. With this addition, there are now 3 Java EE 5 related bundles (see at-a-glance) all including an updated Application Server, based on GlassFish V1 UR1. And so are the new NetBeans 5.5 bundles. |
Here is a brief overview of the different pieces:
• GlassFish V1 UR1 - This is the community-lead project that delivers the comercial quality App Server that is also the Java EE 5 RI.
• Sun Java System Application Server 9.0 UR1 - This is the Sun-supported distribution of the above. Most people will get this through one of the bundles below but here is a
direct link.
• Java EE SDK - The traditional SDK bundle around the above. Most developers will get the AppServer through this download.
• Java Application Platform SDK - Adds additional functionality like Access Manager that is not defined by the JCP specifications but are useful to write Enterprise Applications
• Java EE Tools SDK - This is a full bundle with everything in the Java Application Platform SDK plus all the relevant tools.
Java EE SDK downloads are available from the Java EE Downloads page. NetBeans-related bundles are available from the NB 5.5 Downloads.
