Overview
Business Drivers
Solution
Where are we today?

3. Overview Requirement Integrate GlassFish V1 into Ubuntu
GlassFish distributable through Ubuntu repositories

4. Business Drivers: Ubunutu
Ubuntu / Debian are the most popular Linux distros according to distrowatch.com
3 Million Users (ntp server)
Expected to be much more.
Growth rate 10-15% per month
550K cds shipped since June
Feature required by AS: Migrate existing _JMS_ applications, as-is, to AS8.x/3rd Party MoM combination, as against porting applications to use a custom iWay CCI interface

5. Ubuntu Trends (Distrowatch)

6. Ubuntu Trends (Google: Keyword-Ubuntu)

7. Business Drivers:Environment & Growth Strategy
Java is prevalent on Solaris and Windows.
GlassFish under GPL – easier to distribute with GNU/Linux
Growth Strategy
Ongoing corporate strategic effort to gain Linux distribution for SE, EE and NetBeans.
Co-ordinated goal between SE, EE and NetBeans to be in Feisty by April 2007
Universe / Main distro targeted for Oct 2007
Feature required by AS: Migrate existing _JMS_ applications, as-is, to AS8.x/3rd Party MoM combination, as against porting applications to use a custom iWay CCI interface

8. Business Drivers: Benefits
First and Only Java EE solution on Ubuntu.
Address new market for GlassFish
Expand mindshare of GlassFish across developers
Provide streamlined installation packages for linux
- This is a step in the right direction.
- - Providing on java.net - further enhances Sun's position that this is a temproary solution (emphasize on "good enough") and Sun looks to MoM/3rd party providing customised 1.5 resource adapters in the future.
- this "accelerates availability of message provider supported RAs that customers can buy and use, thereby solving our message provider pluggability issues - should also be seen as Sun's contribution to state that AS/MoM provider pluggablity is via 1.5 Connectors"

9. Solution: User Experience

10. Solution: Implementation
Create debian packages from GlassFish binaries
Specify dependencies: Sun Java Debian Package
Provide automated configuration of GlassFish post-install.
Deliver packages into multiverse repository
Package source code delivered into multiverse.
Requires packaging sources to be on java.net
Source Package: source of packaging code, not the entire GlassFish source code.
- We can plan for a future version, based on demand & feedback
- For putbacks from external committers, we will need to have a governance policy. This isn;'t critical as of now, so it is a low priority.

11. Where are we today? Packager-ext module Debian Packages created
Installable via dpkg *.deb
2 Promotions done.
SQE has run Basic Bat tests
Next promotion monday – installable via apt-get and synaptic, maven free build of packager-ext.
