2. Set the Maven options as ...
   
   

   export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m

   
   And build the distribution as ...
   
   

   ~/workspaces/glassfish/v3 >mvn -U install [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Reactor build order: [INFO]   GlassFish Build Utilities [INFO]   GlassFish v3 Maven2 plugin [INFO]   Maven extension for building GlassFish [INFO]   GlassFish Parent Project . . .

   You need to use "mvn -U clean install" for a previously built workspace.
   
3. Unzip the created distribution as:
   
   

   ~/testbed/glassfish/v3/snapshot >unzip ~/workspaces/glassfish/v3/distributions/glassfish/target/glassfish-10.0-SNAPSHOT.zip Archive:  /Users/arungupta/workspaces/glassfish/v3/distributions/glassfish/target/glassfish-10.0-SNAPSHOT.zip    creating: glassfish/    creating: glassfish/docs/ . . .   inflating: glassfish/lib/templates/keyfile    inflating: glassfish/lib/templates/logging.properties    inflating: glassfish/lib/templates/login.conf    inflating: glassfish/lib/templates/profile.properties    inflating: glassfish/lib/templates/server.policy

   
   The unzipped distribution directory looks like:

   Start GlassFish as ...
