Glassfish build instructions for building from Beta Branch are updated.
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/BuildGlassFish.html#BetaBranch

% cvs -d :pserver:<userid>@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout -r
*AS9_BETA_BRANCH* glassfish/bootstrap
As glassfish/bootstrap/project.properties from AS9_BETA_BRANCH branch
has variable "glassfish.cvstag" set as
"glassfish.cvstag=AS9_BETA_BRANCH" Beta Branch sources will be checked
out and built accordingly.

Edit glassfish/bootstrap/project.properties or create
${user.home}/build.properties (Unix) or %HOMEPATH%\build.properties
(Windows) and set following properties:
glassfish.os.name= // The OS name under which GlassFish
<http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/GlassFish> will be built
(possible values are WINNT, SunOS^?
<http://wiki.java.net/bin/edit/Projects/SunOS?topicparent=Projects.GlassFishBuildQuestions>,
Linux, SunOS^?
<http://wiki.java.net/bin/edit/Projects/SunOS?topicparent=Projects.GlassFishBuildQuestions>_X86,
Darwin)
glassfish.root=<ws directory> // Directory where you want to checkout
the workspace, in this case workspace. All the source code, dependencies
and jar files will end up here.
glassfish.cvs.username= // The java.net id that will be used to checkout
the source code.

Then:
% cd glassfish/bootstrap
% maven checkout *bootstrap-all* build configure-runtime

thanks
