What is the Liferay bundle

The Liferay Bundle is Liferay Portal pre-deployed and pre-configured on an application server. You simply download, unpack, and run. No configuration necessary, other than having Java runtime installed on your machine. It comes in many different varieties. The most common is the Tomcat bundle. As of Liferay 5.1.1, these are the bundles available:

·         Geronimo+Tomcat

·         Glassfish 3

·         Glassfish 2 for AIX

·         Glassfish 2 for Linux

·         Glassfish 2 for OSX

·         Glassfish 2 for Solaris

·         Glassfish 2 for Solaris (x86)

·         Glassfish 2 for Windows

·         JBoss+Jetty 4.0

·         JBoss+Tomcat 4.0

·         JBoss+Tomcat 4.2

·         Jetty

·         JOnAS+Jetty

·         JOnAS+Tomcat

·         Pramati

·         Resin

·         Tomcat 5.5

·         Tomcat 6.0

The intent of these bundles is to quickly install and experience Liferay Portal without having to do any development builds. You don't even need to configure a database as it uses HSQL embedded database right out of the box.
