The GlassFish community announced today the immediate availability of GlassFish Open Source Edition 3.0.1
Quoted from GlassFish web site : “GlassFish 3.0.1 is built on a modular, flexible runtime based on the OSGi standard. It enables organizations to create and deploy Web applications with the lightweight Java EE 6 Web Profile and to easily leverage the power of the full Java EE 6 platform for enterprise applications. Developers also benefit from the simplified programming model and productivity improvements offered by Java EE 6. The result is a flexible platform that can apply only what is needed to address the business problem, thereby reducing cost and complexity”
GlassFish is released under a dual CDDL and GPL v2 license.
GlassFish Open Source Edition is supported by the community (mailing lists, forum and documentation wiki). Oracle is expected to release in the next few days an equivalent commercial version, GlassFish Enterprise Server 3.0.1.
