Hi Anissa,

I did a quick check on the 8/26 nightly build.
The link for admin console from the NetBeans is not changed, it is still
linked to http://localhost:8080/admin.
Not sure if the integration with NetBeans is the supported feature in
this release.

My steps:
1. add the GlassFish v3 instance in the NetBeans 6.1 server tab.
2. start the GlassFish v3, select the v3 instance , right click and
choose the 'View admin console', the url which it forwarded is
http://localhost:8080/admin.

Regards,
Jim
