Kedar, you and I have been over this before, more than once.
The NetBeans plugin MUST have the process handle of the server process
to manage it properly. This is simply not obtainable when starting the
server via the asadmin command.
I am quite happy to accept that in return for requirement, our plugin
must take over launcher duties and properly interpret domain.xml to
ensure the server is started correctly. The current V3 NetBeans plugin
does this.
The benefits of having the Java Process object for the server process
more than outweigh the cost of writing a few lines of code to read XML
and substitute a few variables.

The reasons are different. That does not make Bill's comment any less
valid.
I can see how starting the server via java -jar can be quite convenient,
especially with some of the options now being discussed.
We also package GlassFish as a gem to make it more accessible and
attractive to the Ruby crowd.
