This is a very good requirement. I'd say you file an enhancement request.
Ideally, this should happen with a few button clicks on Windows, for
example. Something similar to JDK upgrade. (without any problems). We
have been thinking about it. Your requirement will make things concrete.
Short of such a tool, there isn't much that can be provided. You could
also take a look at asupgrade script although it is meant for a
different versions of app server. As of now, I don't think we have a way
where GlassFish build "x" can be upgraded to a build "x+c".
Thanks,
