GlassFish 3.1 has been released and is now available for download as an Open Source edition or as an Oracle Supported edition.
GlassFish 3.1 fully supports the Java EE 6 Web Profile and improves over the previous version by providing new application development facilities, clustering and load balancing support and centralized administration.
"GlassFish Server 3.1 is the successor of the earlier 3.0.x releases featuring a modular, flexible runtime based on the OSGi standard now with fully-featured clustering with centralized administration of multiple clusters and high availability of stateful components. Developers also benefit from the simplified programming model and productivity improvements offered by Java EE 6. Because GlassFish Server 3.1 uses a microkernel architecture based on OSGi, developers can begin with the Java EE 6 Web Profile and use the Update Center to easily upgrade to the full Java EE 6 platform!
GlassFish Server 3.1 is also the fastest open source application server offering advanced features such as application versioning, application-scoped resources, and great development tool support from NetBeans 7.0, Eclipse and other popular IDEs."
