Simple, both once both are in production. For now it should be PE ;)

Martin,

Thanks for raising this issue. I'm copying glassfish dev, because I think
our decision
greatly depends on which version the Glassfish team going forward is going
to
encourage developers to use as the default platform.

GF b14 has been promoted - this is the build we will do the milestone
testing with. However the default version linked from the download page
(https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2-b14.html) is "EE", not "PE". We
found out the same was true for the GF 2 Milestone 1 build already.
PE edition that we used to be testing with is also accessible, but from
http://download.java.net/javaee5/promoted/.
We need to decide by COB today whether we should test with the PE (more
preferable for QA to minimize the risks of regressions caused by GF bugs),
or EE (the default edition available to users). See the thread below for
more discussion.

I don't think it is acceptable to point users to the page Deepak mentioned.
We would need to create a page similar to
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2-b14.html pointing to the PE
builds for all platforms and containing installation instructions. Is that
really what we want to do? The last promotion ran on GF 2 EE (Milestone 1)
already and we noticed no regression.

Deepak and Martin,

On the page Deepak lists, both EE and PE versions are available. So I still
say we should
go with the PE version. Switching to the EE version to which clustering was
recently added
is asking for trouble.

Martin,

Actually, glassfish promotion mailer is not giving enough information. If
you go to [1] your find jars they mention in the promotion email. They
should point to this link in the promotion email. And we must also mention
it in our milestone page.

Thanks,

Tom,
users do not have access to javaweb.sfbay - they have access only to
glassfish.dev.java.net. If I go there, the only download I see seems to be
the ee download (without "pe" in the name). So, I don't think we should be
using "pe".

Hi,

Want to make sure everyone see this.

I think we should be using the PE version
       PE without Clustering:
    glassfish-image-pe-v2-b14.jar
    glassfish-pe-installer-v2-b14.jar
