This document provides an overview of embedded GlassFish, including its history and key features. Embedded GlassFish allows running a GlassFish application server within a JVM without requiring a full GlassFish installation. It provides benefits like very fast startup times, running web applications like regular Java applications, and using GlassFish for testing without a separate domain. Examples are provided demonstrating how to embed GlassFish using the API and via command line. The schedule outlines upcoming support for Java standards and references provide links to related projects.
