I am starting to look into Enterprise Java and the book I am following mentions that it will use JBoss. Netbeans ships with Glassfish. I have used Tomcat in the past.
What are the differences between these three programs?

JBoss offers a modern looking management console, feature-full command-line tools and various utilities that integrate with DevOps tools such as Ansible and Puppet. In contrast, Apache Tomcat is primarily focused on providing a standard, bug-free implementation of the Servlet and JSP API.
JBoss Application Server comes with Tomcat as the default web container. The embedded Tomcat service is the expanded deploy/jboss-web.
Eclipse GlassFish Server provides a server for the development and deployment of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform) applications and web technologies based on Java technology.
The JBOSS Enterprise Web Server is a lightweight web application server product based on a modified version of Apache Tomcat.
Tomcat is just a servlet container, i.e. it implements only the servlets and JSP specification. Glassfish and JBoss are full Java EE servers (including stuff like EJB, JMS, ...), with Glassfish being the reference implementation of the latest Java EE 6 stack, but JBoss in 2010 was not fully supporting it yet.
