How can I add GlassFish 4.1 server in Eclipse Neon 2?

I have a fresh installation of Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers - for WIndows 64bit - Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2)

I have downloaded the newest editions of GlassFish server 4.1.1 - both Full & Web Profie

I've installed the latest GlassFish tolls using Eclipse Marketplace:
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/glassfish-tools

Now I am trying to add GlassFish Server to Eclipse using the latest JDK 8, but it complains that Java 6 or 7 is required:

OK, then I am trying to use the latest JDK 7 instead of 8, but this time it complains that this is an invalid GlassFish instalation.

How can I add GlassFish server to Eclipse, what am I doing wrong ?

After lots of trials and errors I finally managed this issue.
A glassfish subdirectory must be pointed instead of base installation directory, and everything works fine.

As for the "Java 6 or 7 is required"-problem; I managed to get past this by adding a trailing slash to the java location. 

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle  # "Java 6 or 7 is required"
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/ # Works

This is on linux, so it might not apply to your windows environment.
