Thanks John. Yes, of course "Final" by no means here indicates that there will be no further GlassFish release.
You should read it as 3.1.1 Final => there will be no further 3.1.1 release (i.e. we've moved on to 3.1.2 or 4.0).
Interestingly enough a user asked me a while back when would "Final" releases ship because *Project* GlassFish meant to him that we still had not shipped a stable release (this was in 2008 IIRC). Darn English language! ;)

> Final is a word with many interpretations, so we will want to re-word that. Final in this case means "not a milestone build". Many developers download and use our milestone builds, so "final" is our way of saying "released". We are working on GlassFish 3.1.2 right now, and GlassFish 4.0 will support Java EE 7. If you'll be at JavaOne / Oracle Open World, we'll be covering the roadmap at a few sessions, or you can stop by one of the booths.
