Hello, Bernhard.

It looks as if there are a few mismatches between the doc and the code.

You can use "-output path-to-file.jar" to override where the JAR file
will be created.

As for the directory structure, after expanding the generated JAR file
you should see an appclient subdirectory. Inside there is a glassfish
directory which is the location the doc means when it refers to
"appclient_install_dir."
