Hi,

I am starting to get involved into this community and GlassFish but somehow it is pretty confusing.

As I understand there is the fullblown SDK profile and thinner web profile. Correct?

What is the difference between Prelude (older?) and Preview (newer) version? There are also several download pages:
http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/preview/
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v3-preview.html
http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3/promoted/

I am trying to work through the JEE6 tutorial. So I tried the installation "GlassFish and Java EE 6 SDK Previews" from the Sun site. But there I was facing two problems:

1. Couldn't even create the tables via ant as stated here: http://forums.java.net/jive/message.jspa?messageID=356459#356459

2. After some workaround (by removing an SQL statement) I got a problem when running the bookstore example as stated here: http://forums.java.net/jive/message.jspa?messageID=356475#356475

Then I tried the prelude (and uninstalled the previews) version with the eclipse tools bundle. Starting the update server I can't find:

- Ant add-on
- JEE 6 Tutorial update

Okay... now I will give the promoted b55 installation a shot but somehow I enthusiasm about GlassFish is declining :-(.
