Hi,

The first nightly build for GlassFish Tools Bundle For Eclipse 1.2 is
now available. We call it 1.1.3 (no yet 1.2), and make it available for
early feedback and testing.

It contains:

    * Latest Eclipse 3.5.1 IDE with WTP Java EE support
    * JSF Facelet plugin (from the Eclipse incubator project) to help
      the JSF 2.0 developer
    * Latest GlassFish v3 Java EE 6 Build 67 pre-registered and configured
    * JavaDB sample database pre-registered and configured
    * GlassFish Plugin (1.0.36)
    * Java EE 5 and Java EE 6 Javadoc code completion in the Java Editor
    * MySQL JDBC driver registered to the IDE
    * Maven m2 plugins
    * JAX-WS Metro plugin
    * GlassFish documentation
    * And optionally, a JDK 1.6. update 16

Compared to the last 1.1 release, we now only bundle and pre-register
the latest GlassFish v3 bits (but you can still register if needed a
GlassFish v2.1 or v3 prelude server), and Eclipse 3.5.1 release is used.
The GlassFish plugin 1.0.36 starts offering some Java EE 6 wizards (like
an EJB wizard for Web Applications, EJB Timer, XHTML for Facelet JSF 2.0
support and Servlet 3.0). (See release notes at
https://ajax.dev.java.net/eclipse/releasenotes.html )

Installers are available for Windows and MacOSX, and compressed IZpack
installers for OpenSolaris and Linux systems.
Download size is very small, thanks to pack200 compression.

Get it from http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/1.1.3/ and give
us feedback. The stable 1.2 version will be available soon after the
release of GlassFish Java EE 6 v3 release.

The stable 1.1 version is still available at
