In essence, GlassFish ESB is a binary distribution that combines technology from Project OpenESB, the GlassFish application server, and the NetBeans IDE communities into a supported, commercial distribution. GlassFish ESB is compatible with a number of JBI-compliant plug-ins that provide a range of different technical capabilities.
