Okay, stop... please. ;-)

I am a beginner with Glassfish. I started using JEE 5 SDK some weeks ago
and just want to contribute MaxDB compatibility. With or without
clustering?! My god, how should I know?! SNAPSHOTs? Well, actually I
have no clue of Maven at all. What's a SNAPSHOT good for? NO PLEASE,
actually I don't care for. I just want to know how to get this thing
built and running. Sorry for beeing so explicit, but in fact I just
wanted to contribute one day for that MaxDB thing, and now weeks are gone...

Nevertheless, thanks a lot!
Markus

P.S.: Once more the tip: If you want beginners to contribute to
Glassfish, you should not overload them with lots of different
information on several web sites. Just do one site that creates exactly
one configuration. If the beginner is able to do that, provide a second
page with additional features. But don't give him all information at
start. That's just confusing.
