Glassfish ESB
Glassfish ESB is an integration platform based on open source projects as Open ESB, Netbeans, Glassfish and more, distributed in a stable binary release where commercial support can be obtained as an option. A major benefit of this model is that it can start to freely download the software, develop and even deploy without paying anything. When you want to go into service with mission critical applications you can then get the security a commercial support contract will give.
Glassfish ESB is entirely based on open standards including JBI, WS-* and Java EE which reduces thr risk for platform and vendor lock-in.
Open ESB
Open ESB is an open source project funded by Sun Microsystems with the purpose to develop an open source based integration platform based on JBI and other open standards. This project is the basis for Glassfish ESB, and large parts of Java CAPS. For those interested in exploiting the latest technology or want develop Open ESB itself is a good alternative.
