Error when starting Glassfish Server from Eclipse

Question

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit, and I've installed GlassFish 3.1.1 outside of Eclipse.

When I start Glassfish Server, a window (Problem Occurred) shows the following error message:

An internal error occurred during: "Publishing to GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3 (Java EE 6) at localhost...".
java.lang.NullPointerException

What's wrong?

Thanks!

For passer by :

Check Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments > YourGlassfish > Edit . Verify the correct JDK is installed. You may get a NPE though, see here
