Description

Steps:

1. Open Servers dialog via menu Tools > Server
2. Click Add Server...
3. Choose "GlassFish Server" or "Payara Server"
4. Click "Next" button
5. Specify an install location different from proposed one
6. Choose a version
7. Click  on accept license checkbox
8. Click Download Now button

Observed: The chosen GlassFish or Payara server distribution is downloaded and installed in the chosen location but an additional sibling folder is created containing a temporary 0 bytes file. The sibling folder is named <chosen-location>1 (note the final 1) and temporary file is named foo####.tmp .

Expected: The chosen GlassFish or Payara server distribution is downloaded and installed in the chosen location and no additional folders/files are created or maybe created but removed at the end of installation process.
