I know it is somewhat confusing since we currently have file layout
mismatch between developer build and full product build, but glassfish
in glassfish.zip or web.zip is not intended as top level installation
directory name. If you take a look at "official" v3 distribution (i.e.
one which is IPS enabled and coming out of RE build), you will notice
that it contains glassfishv3 as top level directory, and beneath that
are bin, glassfish, javadb and pkg. While the top level directory name
can be changed to anything, subdirectory names (including "glassfish" )
and their file layout are defined as interfaces. There is some more info
on this in file layout one-pager:
