My experience with GlassFish v3 promoted build installers

I always use the zip file that's created during my build in my local
workspace. Today, I wanted to verify some bug fix, so I downloaded
v3-b62 installer. While the installation process was smooth, these are
my observations:

1. It says "Glassfish V3 Preview." How can it be "v3 Preview?" I think I
raised the same issue w.r.t. names of files uploaded. Something wrong
with our RE process. Terena?

2. On screen #1, it says "To install the entire GlassFish V3 Preview,
clink Next." What other choice do I have other than installing or
canceling? So, the use of word "entire" is confusing IMO.

3. In one of the summary screens (titled "Ready To Install"), it says
the following:
GlassFish v3 Preview
 - install GlassFish v3
 ...
 - configure GlassFish v3

Please note the inconsistency in version names. In one place it says "v3
Preview," and in other places, it does not.

4. In the final page (installation summary page), it mentions the
product name as "GlassFish V3." Note capital V in V3 as opposed to v3 in
all other places. This leads me to think such information is not
maintained as constants in the code. Only duplication of data can lead
to such issues.

And no, I am not going to file bugs; I am tired of filing bugs + plus
issue tracker is such a pain.
