This is just a quick note to let you know that I have refreshed the installer for Groovy: get it from the downloads page!
If you haven’t yet tried Groovy, I highly suggest that you do so. This language plays nice with Java, embeds lots of Ruby-like constructs and is highly productive.
If you are looking into leveraging the Sun IPS technology + Update center tool, I suggest that you check out the nice (Confluence-based) wiki at http://wikis.sun.com/display/IpsBestPractices/Image+Packaging+System+Best+Practices.
One thing I am looking at for IzPack is to provide a deep (yet optional) IPS integration through dedicated panels and the possibility to have some online packages that would be delivered by IPS…
As mentioned in this recent blog post, IzPack offers another solution to install Glassfish. Especially, the IzPack-based installers works on any Java-enabled operating system, and it provides a smooth initial configuration experience.
The post also mentions alternative packagings for Linux distributions, which is always nice to have (different installation contexts require different solutions).
In the v3 IzPack installer that is mentioned, I’d like to add that we offer a complement to the IPS-based update center in Glassfish: IzPack provides the initial installation / final uninstallation while the update center provides the updates and add-ons, just as Christopher Kampmeier from Sun Microsystems nicely blogged about a few weeks back.
J’ai comme l’impression que quelqu’un a fait une boulette chez Apple 
I have just uploaded my latest mix, hoping that you will enjoy it.
You can get it from the HCLcast.
If you haven’t yet subscribed to the podcast, go ahead and fix that!
