I want to Install GlassFish Server in a computer without a GUI. I would like to know if a JDK or a JRE is required in order to run Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications?

As GlassFish is an AS (Application Server) it looks like that the answer to the question is comparable to the accepted answer of this Q&A.

It depends on the WAR content. If the WAR contains JSPs, a JDK is required. Otherwise installing a JRE is sufficient.

However, the actual answer according to this documentation is that GlassFish requires a JDK, as Java EE makes use of some Java Standard Edition (SE) features.

Make sure JDK 7 is installed.

Java EE 7 requires JDK 7 as it make use of some of the latest Java SE 7 features (e.g. JMS 2 uses Java 7 auto-closeable interfaces).
To check if you have JDK 7 installed (full JDK, not just JRE), type javac -version in a shell/command box.
