Application Deployer Tool not in Sun Application Server PE 9
Hi,
I am new to Sun Application Server PE9. I remember using Sun "Application Deployment Tool" user interface to package EAR files some time back Sun Application Server 8. Does any one have any idea whether this deployment tool with GUI interface is available with Sun Application Server 9 or Do I need to download it separately.
Thanks in advance.

NetBeans is replacing the individual GUI tools that were bundled with appserver like deploy tool and provides a complete development environment for building/debugging/deploying applications on glassfish.
Pl. checkout:

Please refer to:

The deploytool is no longer shipped in the appserver 9.0 release.
We recommand you use the NetBeans.
http://j2ee.netbeans.org/NetBeans_EJB3.html
For more information on the appserver itself, you maywant to contact http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=734 or glassfish mailing lists at https://glassfish.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectMailingListList. (glassfish is the opensource project where the appserver is developed).

- deploytool was made available with Sun Java System Application server until version 8.2.
You can download SJSAS 8.2 from: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download.html
From the above page, you can download either the standalone application server or (NetBeans 5.0 + SJSAS 8.2) bundle.
- deploytool was removed from SJSAS 9.0 onward. From version 9.0, NetBeans is the IDE offered for deploying apps on to SJSAS 9.0 (glassfish) and deploytool is not offered anymore. Please download NetBeans 5.5, which is the tool now offered by Sun for deploying to 9.0.
- It is not expected that deploytool shipped with 8.2 will work with 9.0. It most likely will not, even for j2ee 1.4 apps.
