I just downloaded the GlassFish 5.0 archive - Full Platform, unzipped it, I run it through the command line.

asadmin start-domain

problem:

I tried to set the path in the file asenv.bat -> set path = C:/.../Java/bin - did not help. Tried so to launch: asadmin start-domain domain1 - did not help.

Installed: jdk-9.0.1 Also tried on the 8th, did not help. What to do???

OK, Glassfish 5.1 doesn't exist for the moment. Continue with Glassfish 5.0 with this solution:

Just set the AS_JAVA variable in your asenv.bat file located here: C:\DEVENV\glassfish5\glassfish\config.

For me it didn't work what @Vifier Lockla did. I had to change the path/glassfish5/glassfish/config/asenv.conf file in a linux mint machine. At the bottom of the file the path of the jdk 1.8, i.e.

AS_JAVA="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_191"

GlassFish 5.1 also not working with Java 9 or later versions.

glassfish 5.1 also needs java 8 with the AS_JAVA hack in asenv.conf/bat file.

Edit asenv.bat put set AS_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle and asenv.conf AS_JAVA="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"

It works

When you download the glassfish zip file from the internet and extract it. Its a good practice to read the the readme file. In my case the under the "prerequisites" title in the readme file, it specified: GlassFish 5.0 requires Oracle JDK 8 Update 144. I downloaded and installed the JDK 8 update 144 as demanded. It worked instantly. I initially had JDK 14.0.2 and it was displaying the error @Aleksandr posted.

I made the same mistake as the OP, because the release notes said specifically "GlassFish Server Open Source Edition Release 5.0 requires Oracle JDK 8 Update 144 or later" under heading Required JDK Versions in release notes.

However what you can do is drop down each version to see which is the latest jdk version that glassfish 5 will be compatible with Or Just download Java SE Development Kit 8 from https://www.oracle.com/in/java/technologies/javase/javase8-archive-downloads.html.

You also have to add the java variable in asenv.bat as kindly commented by Vifier Lockla. Thanks to Vifier for the suggestion.

for me I changed to the directory where glassfish is

cd /opt

then

sudo glassfish5/bin/asadmin start-domain

I am sure this works
