Hi Siddesh :-)

The Installation Guide says it, but may be more than 50% people won't
read it before the installation :-)

How to design a product to meet these 50% people need is a challenge!

I looked the v3 Troubleshooting Guide
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7699?l=en&q=Sun+GlassFish+Enterprise+Server+v3>
and see the following lay out. The JDK issue is mentioned in both
chapter 1 and 2. I just filed a doc enhancement 11350
<https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11350> suggest to
add a chapter "Frequently Hit Issues" into
Troubleshooting Guide, let's see how doc team thinks.
