Subject: 	NPE from glassfish installer

A user reported this problem on glassfish Chinese forum
here:
http://gceclub.sun.com.cn/NASApp/s
me/jive/thread.jsp?forum=22&thread=46763

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
java.lang.NullPointerException
at 
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel.initSystemColorDe
faults(GTKLookAndFeel.java:1267)
(see above URL for full stacktrace)

The user was trying to install glassfish on Debian with JDK
6, running 
java -jar glassfishv2.jar

It appears that glassfish's poorman's installer incorrectly
sets the laf 
on the main thread, whereas it should be set on the EDT
(event 
dispatching thread).  A google search also shows a related
JDK 6 bug:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=658
5553 (NPE in 
GTKLookAndFeel.initSystemColorDefaults() on mustang when
remote X11 
displaying.).

While we can't count on the JDK bug to be fixed in JDK 6,
can we fix our 
installer main class to correctly set laf?

Thanks,
-cheng
