Why I feel we need contributions

GlassFish is an excellent open source application server– Modern OSGI Kernel

We need a strong open source, production ready, Java EE 7 application server

– Otherwise what is the future for JavaEE

We need strong competition in open source Java EE– Only WildFly is not enough

– GlassFish 5 is minimum of 2 years away

GlassFish Role

GlassFish commercial discontinued– No Oracle commercial support for GlassFish 4 and beyond

– GlassFish 3 commercial support continues

– Java EE commercialized through WebLogic

– Third party support (including from C2B2 via Payara)

GlassFish open source continues– Reference implementation

– Focus on standards support, usability, community, innovation, evangelism

– Java EE releases, bug fixes

– Contributions most welcome!

Building a Specific Module

As before go the module directory– mvn –DskipTests clean install

Copy the module to the modules directory– $GLASSFISH/glassfish/modules

OSGI Development trick– Add to $GLASSFISH/glassfish/config/osgi.properties

Things to Consider

GlassFish is built from many projects– Jersey, Tyrus, HK2, Felix, Eclipselink + others

– You may have to fix those projects

Pick a bug– https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH

– Many are more like support tickets than issues
