Exercise 0: Download, Install and Test the
GlassFIsh Tools Bundle
Step 1: Download
GlassFish Eclipse
Tools

- You can select to download the bits with
the jdk bundled or without - except for Mac OS X which doesn't have a
JDK
bundled version. In this exercise we will download the JDK bundled file.

- On Windows:
Select Windows to download. You should
download file glassfish-tools-bundle-for-eclipse-<version>.exe

Mac OS X Intel to download. You should
download file glassfish-tools-bundle-for-eclipse-<version>.dmg

Step 2: Install GlassFish
Eclipse
Tools Bundle
- On Windows:
double-click on
glassfish-tools-bundle-for-eclipse-<version>.exe file, then

your own directory to install the tool; otherwise, the installer will
place the GlassFish Eclipse Tools Bundle in directory C:/Program
Files/GlassFish-Tools-Bundle-For-Eclipse-<version>
- On Mac OS:
double-click on
glassfish-tools-bundle-for-eclipse-<version>.dmg and GlassFish

you

/Applications directory
