title: Getting Started with GlassFish
body: <p>This is a question for all you GlassFish users out there, in hopes that this can be a reference for future searches. I'm new to GlassFish, and am looking for a good place to get nice introduction. Can you direct me to some nice references or <code>Hello World</code> type of projects? </p>
  
  <p>In my case, I'm using the <a href="http://glassfishplugins.java.net/" rel="nofollow">GlassFish plugin for Eclipse</a> and hoping to use GlassFish as a server for some Java projects and would especially like references that pertain to this. I'll accept the first answer that gives a really good example or links to a really good example of this.</p>
  
  <p>Here are some decent references I have found so far:</p>
  
  <ul>

  </ul>
  
  <p>I found some fairly nice tutorials from Oracle on YouTube, but they're not quite the simple Hello World I'm looking for:</p>
