From purely technical point of view, the difference between the two
distributions is the installer - if you downloaded Glassfish jar file
and then used ant-based installer then you are in fact running Glassfish
even though admin console, documentation and 'asadmin -version' output
say "Sun Java System Application Server".
Also,while you have access to nightly/promoted/milestone builds of
Glassfish, Application Server distribution is publicly released only at
milestone points such as beta or FCS release.
Yes, it is addmitedly confusing :-)
