7.0.0-M9

Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the upcoming Jakarta EE 10, which is a new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17.

Note: 7.0.0 M9 is a beta release, but containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs.

GlassFish 7.0.0-M9 compiles on JDK 11 to JDK 19.

The binary glassfish-7.0.0-M9.zip runs on JDK 11 to JDK 19, but without MP Config.
The binaryglassfish-7.0.0-M9.1.zip runs on JDK 17 to JDK 19, with MP Config.

This release contains updated versions of the Jakarta EE 10 components and various other components.

Specifically new for this milestone release is a massive overhaul and cleanup of the DOL module (Deployment Object Library) fixing years of technical debt and updating various components. Only a few remaining dependent components are in an RC version now. Also included is an important security fix, kindly donated by luiseufrasio

NOTE: unfortunately a regression crept into this release causing MP Config to be excluded from the glassfish-7.0.0-M9.zip build. An extra binary was made available in response to this, glassfish-7.0.0-M9.1.zip, which however only works on JDK 17 and higher.
