GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse 1.2

Scope of the work

We now need to work on the next version of the bundle, version 1.2. The main areas are:

  1. Eclipse 3.5.1 support
  2. GlassFish v3 Java EE 3 support, with decent Java EE 6 wizards, and GF resources see link
  3. Replace GlassFish v2.1 and v3 Prelude with GlassFish v3
  4. Add v3 documentation links
  5. finish/test directory deployment for EJB Modules and EAR projects
  6. Update components: Metro Plugin, MySQL driver, JDK 1.6, possibly Windows 7
  7. check websynergy?
  8. check Postgres?
  9. 3.5.1 for opensolaris
  10. verify if need to update plugin for new Java EE 6 DTDs and/or schemas

Schedule

The overall goal is to ship the GlassFish Tools Bundle v1.2 for Eclipse asap after the GlassFish v3 delivery. If we follow the equivalent NetBeans schedule (that also bundles GlassFish v3), that would be around beginning of December 2009.
