Yeah, actually I do have a checked out copy of the workspace. I even did
"find -name Demo.java" on all admin modules, but I still couldn't find
it. It somehow just didn't occur to me that I should search www.

Your website did tell me that I can find AMX API jar from
appserv-ext.jar in $GLASSFISH/lib, so that was no problem. What I
couldn't figure out was where to find sample source files.

BTW, I think it's too much to expect Glassfish users (that's the hat I
am wearing right now) --- not developers ---- to have the complete
source code checked out from the repository.

I mean, if you think about it, do you download the whole JRL Mustang
source code bundle when you only want to play with a Swing sample
application?
