What You Need to Know Before Installing

• GlassFish ESB Supported Operating Systems and External Systems
  
• Before You Install
  
• Preparing for Installation
  
• UNIX and Linux Patches
  

For GlassFish ESB, GUI and command-line interface (CLI) installations are available for all supported operating systems. The CLI installation lets you specify installation parameters in a state file that is invoked using command line options. It has the option of a silent installation, which is run completely in the background. The GUI installer's wizard takes you through an interactive installation, prompting you along the way with installation questions.

A complete installation includes the following components:

• NetBeans IDE 6.5 ML
  
• GlassFish v2.1
  
• Open ESB core components
  
• Java Business Integration (JBI) service engines
  
• Java Business Integration (JBI) binding components
  
• Java Business Integration (JBI) component tooling
  
• Sun Uninstallation software.
  

Note - IDE is an acronym for an integrated development environment. It consists of a number of components, such as a compiler, source code editor, build tools, debugger, browser, object inspector, class hierarchy diagram, and so on. These components can be used when performing object-oriented software development. The integrated tools can also be used to build a graphical user interface (GUI).

Important Installation Notes:

• GlassFish ESB does not support spaces in the installation directory path.
  
• You must have the JDK (Java Development Kit) software installed and JAVA_HOME set prior to installing GlassFish ESB or the Installer will halt the installation. See Preparing for Installation for JDK version information; see Installing the JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME for JDK installation information.
