Hi Arun,
I am currently working on fixing the issue #537, The "ant" executable
does not have execute permission ...
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=537

once you install the
http://java.net/download/javaee5/promoted/SunOS_X86/glassfish-installer-v2-b36.jar
file, ant in lib/ant/bin doesn't have execute permissions, so need to
set the permissions explicitely or have ANT_HOME defined.

But once issues #537 is fixed this will not be a problem, i will update
the instructions also.
thanks
Dinesh
