Hi Tom,
I wasn't aware there was an V3 package repository. However I still
feel the official OpenSolaris package repository should contain the
installation.
Any more details on the other package repository and how to use it?

I'd just like to clarify the term "Opensolaris package" for GFv3 that
was used below for everyone on this alias. If you disagree with this
understanding, please response.
An "Opensolaris package" in this context means an Image Packaging System
package(s) that is/are:
a) delivered in one of the OpenSolaris publishers, such as
pkg.opensolaris.org, or pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/release,
b) designed to have a file system layout that installs the product into
/usr, /etc, /var, /opt, i.e., system directories,
c) designed to be installed into the OpenSolaris system image by a
privileged user,
d) limited to be installed only once on the system, unless zones are used
e) updated according to the OpenSolaris delivery schedule (approximately
twice a year)
f) managed with the OpenSolaris system package management tools, i.e.,
packagemanager, updatemanager, /usr/bin/pkg.
The current GFv3 packages are also Image Packaging System packages, but
they differ from the "OpenSolaris packages" above in that that are:
a) delivered in by the GFv3 publishers, e.g., pkg.glassfish.org or
pkg.sun.com/glassfish/v3/release
b) designed to be delivered in a user image, with a corresponding file
system layout appropriate for that image type
c) can be installed multiple times in multiple user images by an
unprivileged user,
d) updated nightly (for dev repositories) and according to a GFv3 schedule
e) managed with user image management tools, i.e., updatetool, software
update, notifier, <image>/bin/pkg.
f) the packages can be used not just on OpenSolaris, but also on Solaris
10, Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc.
What these both have in common is that they both run on OpenSolaris.
I expect that there would also be differences in marketing, licensing,
support, etc. between these offerings, but I've only addressed the
technical issues here.
