There is obviously GlassFish and the Embedded GlassFish. Here is the relevant artifact:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>download.java.net</id>
    <name>Java.net Maven Repository</name>
    <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2&lt;/url&gt;
  </repository>
</repositories>
...

<dependencies>  
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.extras</groupId>
    <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
    <version>3.0</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>  

Actually, providing an embeddable container API is part of the Java EE 6 specification (Chapter 22 of the EJB 3.1 spec). See EJBContainer.
