Prelude to GlassFish v3

Wikipedia 对 Musical Prelude 的定义是:

The prelude can be thought of as a preface. It may stand on its own or introduce another work.

Abhjit 宣布了GlassFish v3 的下一个Release 叫 GlassFish v3 Prelude ( announcement, Plan, Content). 这跟上面对Prelude的定义是相符合的，GlassFish v3 Prelude是个独立的产品，又是GFv3 release的前奏. You can also think of "Prelude" as a beefed-up "Express" (as in Open SSO Express).

Wikipedia defines a Musical Prelude as:

The prelude can be thought of as a preface. It may stand on its own or introduce another work.

Abhjit just announced that the next step in our road to GlassFish v3 is GlassFish v3 Prelude ( announcement, Plan, Content). The above definition fits it well: it will stand on its own and it will introduce the full fledged GFv3 release. You can also think of "Prelude" as a beefed-up "Express" (as in Open SSO Express).
