GlassFish Project - GlassFish Server Modules

The majority of the GlassFish code is available under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) v1.0 for both the source and binary forms. Certain components are released in binary form only, under Sun's binary license. See the GlassFish Code Dependencies WiKi (http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/GlassFishCodeDependencies) for details.   You must agree to all of these licenses as part of the installation before viewing and/or using the code.

Below is an index of GlassFish Server modules and technologies found in the GlassFish workspace. Not all modules have their pages ready at this time and we are currently working on setting up those pages.  Several of the technologies integrated into GlassFish are developed in other projects.  See the Related GlassFish Technologies section for what those are and where to find them.
