Hi,

It is my great pleasure to announce the release of the GlassFish Tools
Bundle for Eclipse version 1.2, enabling rapid iterative development of
Java EE 6 applications with GlassFish v3.

The all-in-one bundle is available at
http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse and contains:

    * Eclipse 3.5.1 IDE with WTP Java EE support
    * Java EE 6 GlassFish v3 runtime pre-registered and configured
    * New wizards to support creation of Java EE 6 artifacts (Annotated
servlets, EJBs inside a Web App, REST resources,...)
    * JavaDB sample database pre-registered and configured
    * GlassFish server adapter plugin (1.0.50)
    * Java EE 5 and Java EE 6 Javadoc code completion in the Java Editor
    * JSF Facelet plugin (from the Eclipse incubator project) to help
the JSF 2.0 developer
    * MySQL JDBC driver registered to the IDE
    * Maven m2 plugins
    * Metro JAX-WS plugin
    * GlassFish documentation
    * Optionally, a JDK 1.6
    * New support for Windows 7

Installers are available for Windows and MacOSX, and compressed IZpack
installers for OpenSolaris and Linux systems.

I would also like to thank the FishCAT for Eclipse and GlassFish
communities and all the numerous people who tested the early access
versions of this bundle.

Make sure to read the release notes

issues and their workarounds.

Thanks for your support, and happy Java EE development with GlassFish
servers,

Ludo
