Documentation: Remove references to Update Tool in the documentation guides
Some GlassFish guides reference the Update Tool, which doesn't exist in Eclipse GlassFish anymore.
For example, in the Application Development Guide, in chapter 5 about the Jakarta EE Service Engine:
Mentions of some other features not present in Eclipse GlassFish should also be removed. For example, I'm not sure whether the Jakarta EE Service Engine is still available - if not, it should be removed from the guides too.

Hello @OndroMih, I checked the codebase and it looks like this issue was fixed, because I tried to make a search and no file was reflecting with the update tool, or maybe you can please link the adoc file that needs to be updated.
Otherwise, I request that this issue be closed too, in case it's not valid anymore. Thanks!
Hi, @Ariho-Seth , I still see a lot of references to the Update Tool in the guides: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aeclipse-ee4j%2Fglassfish+%22Update+Tool%22+language%3AAsciiDoc&type=code&l=AsciiDoc
Maybe it was removed in the above example, but not everywhere.
Hello @OndroMih, I worked on this issue. Please leave a review here https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/pull/25655
Though I decided to level the references about the Update Tool in the FAQs, just for organizations that may still be using the legacy GlassFish ecosystem. I thought that the FAQs may still be helpful to them.
What is your say about this?
I would remove info about Update Tool also from the FAQ, and from everywhere. It's not in GlassFish 5.1+, and it wouldn't be able to download and install packages even on older versions of GlassFish, because it requires an external services by Oracle, which is discontinued.
