Answer 2

The distribution is being changed. For now there is a new Update site. Full details in the official announcement: http://blogs.sun.com/theaquarium/entry/eclipse_3_6_helios_glassfish

While for earlier versions of Eclipse developers had the choice of using the GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse (an all-in-one bundle) or simply adding the GlassFish plugin using a pre-wired software site, it's a tiny bit more complicated for the time being with this 3.6/Helios release.
You'll need to:

• add http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios as a new software site (preferences>install/update>Available Software Site) and
• install the plugin (Help>Install New Plugin) while making sure that "Group Items by Category" is unchecked.

Real soon now this feature should be on the Eclipse marketplace (check this out) and in the longer term, the GlassFish plugin is being moved to the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE).
Finally, note that no matter how you get the plugin, it'll come with full Java EE (5 & 6) javadocs.
Feedback and bug reports should go to glassfishplugins.dev.java.net.

From the mailing list, more confirmation:

Well, first of all, the previous Update Site we used to host our plugin is maintained for the Eclipse 3.5 version. But it will not work with Eclipse 3.6.

Our GlassFish plugin binary is being moved to the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse OEPE. This update site will be live in a few days...
Meanwhile, you can register the Update site for promoted builds of the GlassFish server adapter for Eclipse 3.6:

http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios

Make sure after you register this update site to Eclipse 3.6, you click on the check box called "Group Items by Category" to see the plugins.
We offer now 3 plugins:

• 1 for the GlassFish Servers (2.x, 3.0, 3.0.1 and nightly 3.1)
• 1 for the Java EE 5 javadoc (available in the Java Editor code completion and the help menu)
• 1 for the Java EE 6 javadoc (available in the Java Editor code completion and the help menu).

So you can either wait for the official release of Oracle OEPE (you can track it at http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/oracle-enterprise-pack-eclipse ), or use for now our developer/early access update site.
