Oracle has released GlassFish 3.1. If anyone still thought we were going for a Children's Edition, let me reassure you - GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1 now offers full clustering, centralized admin and many more production features while preserving the developer friendliness with its modular design. |
Update: check out coverage of day #2 in this other blog post.
We are also releasing Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 the supported product which has GlassFish Server Control already integrated for easier evaluation (the add-ons, more on that in a later post). The differences between the OSS bits and this product are highlighted on glassfish.java.net and just to be clear, clustering and centralized admin are part of the open source bits.
The Java EE SDK is also getting a facelift with a new Update 2 release. Expect a number of blogs from the engineers and the community on many different new features but also some screencasts. I'll be tracking the blogs and articles throughout the day in the later section of this blog entry and highlighting the screencasts in a SOTD (Screencasts Of The Day) series starting later today.
