for Sun Software Partners Web and more

As you might already know, a bundle of Web development oriented tools is available (part of the GlassFish portfolio), called the Web Stack. I have already talked about it here and also here. I will therefore not go much into the details and benefits of using this bundle.

This is thus a quick note to say that the new release (Web Stack1.5) is now available. You can get it here: http://www.sun.com/software/webstack/get.jsp

Web Stack 1.5 ships with the most recent evolutions of the open source releases including latest releases of Apache web server, MySQL 5.1 and more:

Fully relocatable Update Center ips(5) image distribution
Apache HTTP Server 2.2.11
lighttpd 1.4.21
memcached 1.2.5
MySQL 5.0.67 and 5.1
PHP 5.2.9
Python 2.6
Ruby 1.8.7
Squid 2.7.STABLE5
Tomcat 6.0.18
GlassFish v2.1
Sun Continuous Integration Server 1.312

But it also comes with some brand new pieces such ads the "Web Stack Enterprise Manager" and the " Sun Continuous Integration Server " based on the Hudson open source project. I'm quite eager to test those, so as soon as I've played around with it I will come with a more technical oriented post.

Meanwhile, for more information you can go to the following web site: http://sun.com/webstack
And for more technical documentation: http://wikis.sun.com/display/WebStack/Sun+GlassFish+Web+Stack+Documentation

Open Source provides a range of new ways for an organization to deliver their IT objectives, from reduced cost and increased security through to new ways to reach customers. Sun has collated a range of information showing the best case studies, white papers and latest examples of how customers are exploiting Open Source to change and radically improve the way that they deliver their projects. So if you are interested in the latest examples of Open Source in use, this is a great resource to use.

As part of this activity Sun is developing an ebook which takes a series of different themes and discusses how in each of those areas Open Source, and the relevant Sun products in those areas, can be most effectively used. The ebook is being released as a number of chapters, the first of those being a Guide to Using Open-Source Software to Develop Web Applications. So if you want to learn more about this subject you can read the chapter and the full book will be available in the near future.

We've also added this chapter to the resources section of our Web community and will add the additional chapters and the full ebook when they are available.
