java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files
If you encounter the following kind of Exception, you probably configured %JAVA_HOME% variable incorrectly:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Files
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:316)
Could not find the main class: Files. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main"
For example, this could happen during GlassFish startup. The solution is to fix %JAVA_HOME% environment variable, so it would point to correct Java installation location.

Thanks for the hint.
For some reason -Djava.library.path is set to the Windows environment variable PATH, and that does not play nice with starting.
If I change PATH to include only the java program files location it starts just fine.
I have added the following to asenv.bat:
REM for some reason java.library.path is set to PATH somewhere later
REM playing havoc with booting glassfish
set PATH=%AS_JAVA%\bin
and now it works
I will probably need to clean PATH in

Leon, thanks for you comment.
What about not “resetting” PATH variable, but just adding %AS_JAVA%\bin to it:
set PATH=%PATH%;%AS_JAVA%\bin
