Describe the bug

Trying to run the glassfish-runner/persistence-platform-tck javatest protocol based tests fails with:

Starting database using command: [/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java, -jar, /Users/starksm/Dev/Jakarta/platform-tck/glassfish-runner/persistence-platform-tck/target/glassfish8/glassfish/modules/admin-cli.jar, start-database, --dbname=/Users/starksm/Dev/Jakarta/platform-tck/glassfish-runner/persistence-platform-tck/target/glassfish8/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/derbyDB;create=true, --sqlfilename=/Users/starksm/Dev/Jakarta/platform-tck/glassfish-runner/persistence-platform-tck/sql/derby/derby.ddl.sql, --dbuser=cts1, --passwordfile=/Users/starksm/Dev/Jakarta/platform-tck/glassfish-runner/persistence-platform-tck/sql/derby/password.txt, -t]

WARNING: It seems that the GlassFish version you are running might have a problem starting embedded Derby database. Please take a look at the server logs. You can also switch off 'enableDerby' property in your 'arquillian.xml' if you don't need it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. cd glassfish-runner/persistence-platform-tck
2. mvn test-compile failsafe:integration-test@jta-tests-javatest
3. See error

Expected behavior
GF should at least startup along with the database

It's the default GlassFish version that's the problem here. M8 would actually work, but we didn't release a JDK 17 version of that. I'll release a new milestone shortly, and will update the test.

In the meantime, you can use M8 (for JDK 21), or compile the 8.0 JDK17 branch and use that.

Using the snapshot build for now until a release is made.
