Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.18 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
This release is all about an exciting new feature that allows running GlassFish Embedded from the command line using java -jar glassfish-embedded.jar. It supports configuration via command line arguments and/or config files in the current directory, such as setting the HTTP port, deploying applications passed as arguments and running arbitrary AsAdmin commands at boot. Aside of that we did a large amount of maintenance for the internal modules nucleus-admin and glassfish, and fixed various issues that were reported by users.
