Description

[1] Add a Glassfish server: Services Panel > Servers > right-click > Add Server... > GlassFish Server > Next >

[2] On the Add Server screen:

• In Installation Location enter a valid directory name that does not exist. 
• Check the I have read.... checkbox.
• Click Download Now... and then select Glassfish Server 4.1.1 as the server to be downloaded. 
• See attached screenshot installGlassfish1.png

[3] The download appears to be successful but there is an error at the bottom of the Add Server Instance window: ! Does not exist. See attached screenshot installGlassfish2.png

[4] The target folder does not get created. Also, if an empty target folder is pre-created the same error occurs, and the target folder remains empty.

[5] This error occurs with both NB 8.2 and NB 9.0 RC1.

[6] Priority is minor since the simple workaround is to download Glassfish first outside of NetBeans, and then select that downloaded folder within the Add Server wizard.

[7] Possible duplicate of NETBEANS-965 ("does not load GlassFish"), but there is no description for that bug and the screenshot information is in Russian.
