How to add Glassfish 5.0 server in Netbeans 8.2

We have a java application on netbeans that's using Glassfish server 4.1. We recently conducted a scan we got recommendation that we should update Glassfish server to the latest version because v4.1 has vulnerability issues. I download Glassfish server 5.0 which in zip, I unzipped and navigate inside the folders. I'am able to reach the admin console localhost:4848 but when I tried adding Glassfish server from tools in netbeans it tells me that not a valid Glassfish server installation. Checked everywhere online couldn't find a solution to this, I don't know how to go about this, could anybody help please???

Rather than research and guess what your specific problem might be, it is far easier just to start over since the entire process of downloading and configuring Glassfish 5 in NetBeans 8.2 only takes a couple of minutes.

Step 1:

  • Tools > Add Server

  • Select GlassFish Server, enter a suitable name in the Name field and click Next >

Step 2

  • On the Add Server Instance screen, click the Browse... button.

  • Navigate to your existing Glassfish 5 installation and select the top level directory, and click Choose.

    screen2

Step 3

  • Having done that you should see a message stating "Detected a Glassfish Server 5.0 install..." as shown in the screen shot below.
  • If you don't see that message (and apparently you are getting "Not a valid GlassFish Server installation.") then simply download Glassfish 5 again, unzip it to a new directory, and use that installation instead.
  • Click the check box for "I have read and accept..." and click Next >. screen3

Step 4

  • Accept the default values for the Domain Location settings and click Finish.

    screen4

Step 5

  • Now open Tools > Servers and select the server you just added. The screen should look similar to this:

    screen5

I just tried this and it worked fine using NetBeans 8.2, Oracle Glassfish 5 and JDK 8.
