Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is the Trisquel version of GlassFish so old?

Hi alimiracle, thank you for the offer, that's very kind of you. Although,  
from other discussions I've had, it seems that GlassFish may not be what I  
need after all. Thanks again though :-)

I installed the package in the Trisquel repository and, as far as I can tell,  
it seems to be Java EE 5. So, perhaps the Debian package is out of date (and  
has been carried downstream to Trisquel)?


I think for now I'll probably just go with the download from the GlassFish  
website.

No idea really but same thing with the buguntu pkg ->
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=glassfish-javaee

I trust when they say Java EE 5, they mean Java EE 5 onwards (so that  
includes all the successive versions)


Just a guess.

Hmm. According to the Wikipedia page, GlassFish 5.0 was released on 21st  
September 2017 and is compatible with Java EE 8. Unless I'm reading the  
package version wrongly ... but, that Debian page you linked says it is  
compatible with Java EE 5, which seems pretty old, if the current version is  
8.

I have the same version on Stretch and this is Sid->
https://packages.debian.org/sid/glassfish-javaee

So, the version you have is actually not at all old, and the latest one is  
not '5' or am I missing something?

The latest version appears to be licensed under the GPL.
