Ubuntu 8.04
Java 1.5.0-15
KDE 3.5.9
Try to install gfv3-tp2-installer.sh or glassfish-v3-express-b11-06_19_2008-unix.sh.
After setting the nice environmental _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 self extracting bin freezes at 97%, creating something update tool links (BTW, tried both checked and unchecked Update Tool).

SwixML 1.5 (#144)
Exception in thread "Thread-30" java.lang.NullPointerException

I don't want to be rude: if you want people uses your magnificent AS at least make it install seamless.

Thx, Radu
