Best way to deploy a Java application on a server cluster?

Question

I have a cluster of 32 servers, and I need a tool to distribute a Java service packaged as a Jar file to each machine and remotely run the service. The cluster consists of Linux servers (Suse 10) with 8 cores per blade server. An application is a data grid that uses Oracle Coherence. What is the best tool for this?

If you have windows, you can configure the service on each machine. If you have linux, you can add a start / stop script for each machine.

When you have several machines, it may be useful to have a tool that monitors all your services, collects logs and errors in one place, and / or allows you to start / stop them from the GUI. There are a number of tools for this, not sure what is best these days.
