First look at GlassFish V3 Prelude
So finally I was able to install GlassFish V3 (glassfish-v3-prelude-b28 ) on my Ubuntu Linux. The previous version didn’t work because I was not able to run the update tool.
First download GlassFish V3 Prelude b28 and run the following commands.
$ chmod 755 glassfish-v3-prelude-b28b-unix.sh $ ./glassfish-v3-prelude-b28b-unix.sh
Hint : When you choose a password for your GlassFish make sure that it has at least eight characters. The Installer does not remark that. When you choose a password which has not eight characters the GlassFish Installer is not able to create a domain.
With the update tool we can now enable features like EJB 3.1 and JSF 2.0.
$ cd glassfish-v3-prelude-b28b/bin $ ./updatetool
To deploy some EJB Apps we have to install the EJB container. Obviously the EJB container is just 463.4 kB.
I think we can effort some 600 kB more and the we have JSF 2.0 enabled.
So it’s about time to start GlassFish and login for the first time.
$ ./asadmin start-domain
On the other hand, most people will use default anonymous login setting for their evaluation installation, don’t you agree? In that case, you are not affected by password length verification issue at all.
Thanks for trying out GlassFish v3. Glad to see that you are using Update Center to download additional software packages from the repository. I have created a bug for the installer issue that you reported:

Please feel free to vote for this issue or add additional comments.

What version of Ubuntu are you using?
I’m using Ubuntu 8.04 and can not get the installer to run unless I do sudo ./glassfish-v3-prelude-unix.sh
Without sudo, I get a blank window after SwixML is displayed.
With sudo, the installer still does not work… if locks up on the screen where you create the admin user.
I didn’t used the sudo command, but I installed the glassfish-v3-prelude-b28b-unix.sh installer with Java 1.6.0_07-b06 on a Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron”.
You can change your Java version with the update-alternatives command.
The javac is set to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javac on my computer. You can verify this with the following command.
sudo update-alternatives –config javac
and the jre is set to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives –config java

hi there,
password : i installed on windows and i had the same issue BUT then had to look at the logs to figure out what it was trying to do and then create the domain. Most people don’t bother creating big passwords while evaluating something and if they run into issues, this will make people forget glassfish(like the old netbeans) if sun doesn’t quickly fix the installer bug.
BR,
