First Download full platform from https://glassfish.java.net/download.html

Unzip it.

At the window you read this error, go to the browse for server root and find the glassfish folder inside your unzipped folder. Click on it and your error will be gone.

However, you need to specify the "glassfish" folder under the extracted GlassFish files, for example ...\glassfish4\glassfish

I got caught by this trying to following along with the Lynda.com tutorial on web services with Java EE. You need to download and install Glassfish and then point the server root to the glassfish directory. Here are the steps I took:

  1. download glassfish from here: https://glassfish.java.net/download.html
  2. unzip the zip file: this is essentially the install step
  3. navigate into the installation to the glassfish folder: this what you point eclipse to
