[ BUILD # : 201212130001 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_09 ]

I have created a new web application, set it as main-project and then "run".
Expected result: Glassfish is started, application deployed.
Actual result: "run" output shows

init:

compile:
compile-jsps:
Starting GlassFish Server 3+

And progress bar is moving. Nothing else happens.

Using an already installed glassfish 3.1.2.2 as well as using Netbeans to
install glassfish yields the same results.

Output from console which was used to launch Netbeans:

Starting glassfish manually using
tkruse@charix:~/java/glassfish-netbeans/glassfish$ ./bin/asadmin start-domain
Waiting for domain1 to start ....
Successfully started the domain : domain1
domain  Location:

Command start-domain executed successfully.

works as expected, deployment after manual start works from Netbeans as
expected.
