I know you've already gotten the email, but the bug is:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196603
> NetBeans currently starts the server using 'java -jar glassfish.jar lots-of-blah-blah-blah'
>
> If start-domain is doing additional sanity tests before doing something similar, those checks are not getting done with the plugin.
Yep, the launcher catches that it's a 3.0.X domain and warns the user to run an upgrade. There's other magic in the launcher as well during an upgrade, such as renaming the osgi-cache directory before launching the server.
Cheers,
