Preview of the next GlassFish installer

gf-izpack-inputpanel.png

The next release of the IzPack-based GlassFish installer will bring the following enhancements:

  1. Solaris (x86, sparc) support
  2. ability to tweak the default domain creation (uses UserInputPanel, see the screenshot above)
  3. ability to start the created domain and open a web browser on the administration console
  4. support for creating the domain with the cluster script.

Note: the data entered on the above panel is validated :-)

I have yet to test it on other platforms than Mac OS X (Tiger), so feel free to try it from http://izpack.org/showcases/glassfish-v2/experimental-glassfish-install.jar and report issues! (as the name suggests, this is highly experimental)

    One issue: I need to pass the domain name as an argument in case it has been tweaked by the user ;-)

    Julien, this is awesome work :) Thank you so much for all your effort and ingenuity. I think this will be really helpful for the non-developer types (and even the dev’s wanting to get stuff setup quickly). Also it should really help glassfish adoption. The easier it is to install, the more people will take to it.

    I know a lot of windows admins that look at instructions to run something as simple as an ant script and just scratch their heads.

    Thanks Again =]

    Andrew
