Installing the glassfishv2 package from the repository has a very poor out of box experience. At a minimum it would create a default domain and with an associated SMF service to manage the server. A menu item to do the same would also be a nice touch. Currently, when you go to manually create a domain you get permission problems on the var directory. It's unclear as to what permission should be set, as questioned by this blog commenter (http://blogs.sun.com/alexismp/entry/glassfish_v2_on_opensolaris#comments). As it currently stands, I think having GlassFish in the repository does it more of a disservice than not having it there at all. It's currently a much better experience to get it from the java.net web site.
