Just tried the 8.5M2, finding that it only supports GlassFish 3.0 Prelude.
The official glassfish 3.0 release is not working if I forced it to be integrated with 8.5M2.

BTW, it there any ways to know what exactly are upgraded on each ME release?

Pat,

You can find the details on the ME 8.5M2 release here - http://www.myeclipseide.com/Downloads-req-viewsdownload-sid-34.html Please click on "New and Noteworthy" and "release notes".

I can confirm patricktsang's findings. I tried to run the official release of glassfish v3 ( not prelude ) and I get the following error

Quote:

WARNING: Exception while starting bundle com.sun.enterprise.osgi-adapter

The server does not start after this.

Since this is a only milestone release, please add support for glassfish v3 before myeclipse 8.5 is released. Please update us about the status of this request once you have filed it with your DEV team.

Thanks

patricktsang, romulusisin,

Thank you for the update. I have escalated this to the dev team. We are going to get GlassFish 3.0 for ME 8.5 GA release.
Thank you for your support.

Best.

I downloaded, installed and configured 8.5 M2; but when I try to start Glassfish v3, I get the exception shown below. I noticed that the server appearing in the list of supported servers is actually Glassfish v3 Prelude, but I am working with the final, released version 3. Could this be the reason behind the problem? If so, when do you expect to truly support GF v3? If final v3 should work, could you provide me any help to make this work? (Of course, if I start the server outside Eclipse it works just fine). Thanks.

This is not what I mean the exact changelog.
I would appreciate it if you can provide more detailed information.
for instance, the Hibernate version is 3.3.2GA, Spring is 2.5.6 etc.

Sorry about the mix up with Glassfish 3 support. We have now added support for GF3 internally already and it is being tested now. Yes, 8.5M2 supports the prelude only and will not work with the final version. 8.5GA will support both prelude and GF 3.
8.5 is due in the last week of March.

Patrick, I agree - we need to provide more detailed information about the frameworks supported and this information is not available right now. Am working on this internally and will try to make sure we update this with every release.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

alaiseca,

GlassFish v3 support will be available on ME 8.5 GA. It is tentatively scheduled to be released on end of March.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
