I mean, it is NOT too much to expect someone to run a command in the command line if you're expecting to deploy to a J2EE appserver <BR/><BR/>BUT would it hurt anyone if there's a PDF/text file ?<BR/><BR/>googling for installation instructions gives the required info BUT sure, it doesn't hurt to have a script based install. Then, again if you want a cross platform install, it doesn't come easy.<BR/><BR/>But didn't the glassfish team create a new GUI installer for Java on java.net ?<BR/><BR/>BR,<BR/>~AAnjanBacchuDevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418545608553510487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-21482693251313235332007-12-17T15:33:00.000+08:002007-12-17T15:33:00.000+08:00Yes, I did read his blog and this blog.The respons...Yes, I did read his blog and this blog.<BR/><BR/>The response from GlassFish project is excellent. See here http://blogs.sun.com/theaquarium/entry/docs_are_the_difference_between<BR/>I don't think they are calling him an idiot. <BR/><BR/>I am a GlassFish user too. The project's developers provide excellent forum responses and the quality of the product is pretty good. So I find the terming of this experience hellish as pretty extreme and lame without giving the forum a try and asking for help. A poor workman blames the tool!<BR/><BR/>As this blog entry from Coolboy shows, the instructions are there at the same page you download. Yes, the project should add a readme or installation instructions with the downloaded bundle. It will certainly help. <BR/><BR/>Wonder why he never posted his questions to the GlassFish forum instead of this blog rant?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-65017286609360480322007-12-17T06:26:00.000+08:002007-12-17T06:26:00.000+08:00Did you read the blog entry?"etf: I never saw any ...Did you read the blog entry?<BR/><BR/>"etf: I never saw any installation instructions. I downloaded and couldn’t find them. Most products have at least a brief installation manual in the root directory of the distribution and people expect to find it there."<BR/><BR/>How difficult would it be to put a text file in the zip download that gives instructions? What a nice project when the developers call their users idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-69980262784366527542007-12-17T02:20:00.000+08:002007-12-17T02:20:00.000+08:00I agree.

Its quite simple.<BR/><BR/>I think this guy just jumped the gun and wanted to cover for his idiocy by writing the blog. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it would be nice to have a zip based installer that contains a readme. I think GlassFish has multiple profiles, hence they have dumbed down the installation to something very basic. Fronting it with a script would help make it even simpler. <BR/><BR/>Your blog helps set right the extremeness of that other blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
