just realized I just forgot to answer that part :P

Overall I agree that it is dangerous for Netbeans to just use java -jar
glassfish.jar.
However I had conversations with Byron or Kedar (again, my aging memory
failing) about providing a local command to export the java command that
the launcher would use to start the domain. This would allow NB to
basically substitute the launcher, have a direct reference to the
process handle (which is important for them) yet retaining the capacity
of respecting the domain.xml settings.

I don't think we will get that for prelude unless it's already there.
