Like I have said in the one pager, I am not sure about
Java EE SDK installers. Since it is *based* on PE
distribution, I'd think this won't be supported in Java EE
SDK, unless appserv-se.jar (and some other artifacts)
is made a part of PE distribution.
Frankly, I don't see any problem with making it (cluster
support) available in Java EE SDK and PE.

But, changing the app server distributions (and native packages
thereof) is not only an Engineering decision. At least, that's what
I am told :)

Sridatta: what should we do about PE and EE distributions *for 9.1*?

I believe the plan for quite some time has been that we will have only
one distribution of app server bits - it will include cluster support
and will be available in GlassFish, PE, SE, EE, and any other app server
release vehicles.  AS EE adds HADB to the app server bits.
Yes, PE file-based installer distribution will have clustering features. I have tried to capture the different editions and distributions at: http://www.glassfishwiki.org/gfwiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SunApplicationServer9.1Editions

Pl let me know if it is not clear.

thanks
