Its strange that I didn't see your email that you sent on 8/31 (its not
present in my Trash folder if I may have deleted it by mistake)

I wanted to see which exact steps did you try, can you please cut/paste

For checking out entity-persistence from command line following command
need to be run after verifying all Prerequisites are proper (JDK1.5.0_08
and Maven 1.0.2 and $HOME/build.properties settings)
% cd glassfish/bootstrap (after checking out bootstrap module)
% maven -Dmodules=entity-persistence checkout bootstrap build
