Open source software is becoming so popular most people likely use it daily without even thinking about it. For example, if you’re using Firefox to browse the internet or WordPress to publish your blog – you’re using open source tools. According to the 2017 Open Source 360 Survey conducted by Black Duck Software, 60% of businesses report an increase in their use of open source in the last year. Despite the growth of organizations taking advantage of open source benefits, there are still many misconceptions surrounding open source software.

For a long time Payara, a derivative of GlassFish, could be used in Eclipse using the Oracle GlassFish Tools. With the release of Payara 5, a few problems prevented the plug-in from recognizing Payara 5, meaning Payara 5 couldn’t really be used in Eclipse. A new set of tools again makes it possible to use Payara 5 with Eclipse, along with other improvements.

In Payara Server 5 we have introduced the concept of a Deployment Group - in this blog post, we'll explore why they are important and what they are used for.

Payara Server 5 and Payara Micro 5 are here! We've already blogged about some improvements in Payara Server & Payara Micro 5, but there are many more. 

We know you'll be excited to find that this release includes several usability improvements making Payara Server & Payara Micro's architecture even more innovative, microservices-ready, cloud-native and optimized for production deployments.

First quarter of 2018 will bring with it our long-awaited Payara 5, fresh out of Beta. Scheduled for a Q1 release (download the Release Candidate here), Payara 5 brings with it a host of improvements to Payara Server and Payara Micro. Bringing long-awaited upgrades to a raft of APIs, as well as a rethinking of the cluster concept, Payara 5 also brings us up to date with Eclipse MicroProfile 1.2 and the core functionality of GlassFish 5.

In Payara Server 5 we will be introducing some major changes to the way clustering is working by creating the Domain Data Grid (see documentation for more info). The Domain Data Grid will be easier to use, more scalable, more flexible and ideally suited for cloud environments and cloud-native architectures. All Payara Server instances will join a single domain-wide data grid for sharing of in-memory data like web sessions, JCache, SSO and Stateful EJBs.
