Glassfish 8 does not start from local installation #9220

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 29

What happened

Using Glassfish 8.0.0 works fine if the server is downloaded with the "add server Instance" - Dialog (see green marker in the screenshot). If Glassfish is downloaded from the download page and then the "Installation Location" option is selected - starting the server fails and the following error occurs:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.ASMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.ASMain

How to reproduce

Add a local Glassfish-8.0.0 from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/ee4j/glassfish/glassfish-8.0.0.zip. Move it to a local folder, add it to netbeans with the add server wizzard. Start the server.
