Sun’s revolutionary, subscription-based approach to infrastructure software. The following Sun Java
Enterprise System components are an integrated part of Solaris 10:
- Sun Java System Directory Server:
The industry’s most widely deployed, general-purpose, LDAP-based directory server (Solaris 10 includes a license for 200,000 directory entries)

A Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform)-compatible
application server for developing and delivering server-side Java applications and Web services

A leading enterprise message server that lets you build and
deploy sophisticated distributed services
For customers wanting to try out additional suite components, the Solaris 10 media kit
includes a full evaluation copy of the Sun Java Enterprise System suite; this full evaluation
copy can also be downloaded for free.
Sun Java Desktop System
The Sun Java Desktop System incorporates the best of open source innovation with significant
contributions from Sun to give users a state-of-the-art, comprehensive, fully integrated desktop
client environment. This highly economical, alternative desktop software solution delivers a wide
range of functionality, including the following:
- A familiar desktop look and feel based on the open source GNOME desktop

Included Open Source Software
Free and Open Source Software
Sun has always believed in the power of collaboration and sharing.
Not only do we contribute software to the open source community, we also
help you leverage the power of free and open source software (F/OSS) by
providing it to you up front, so you don’t have to download, compile,
test, and integrate the tools you need.
Solaris 10 includes 187 software products from the F/OSS community, including the following:
- Apache, Tomcat, and Zebra software for network and Web services
- Bison, GCC, Perl, and Python tools for software development
- IP Filter, TCP Wrappers, and Secure Shell utilities for security
- GNOME, Mozilla, and Evolution software for desktop usability
Integrated Development Tools
Developers need integrated, ready-to-use tools that are compatible with all the environments
on which they must deploy applications. With that in mind, Sun includes popular software tools
from the F/OSS world and complements them with truly unique Solaris 10 utilities such as
Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace).
F/OSS tools integrated into the Solaris 10 Operating System include the standard GNU development utilities,
as well as must-have tools such as the Perl and Python programming languages. Library support includes UNIX
standard functions, as well as the most popular F/OSS libraries such as Glib, GTK, JPEG, PNG, Tcl/Tk, TIFF, XML, and zlib.
