Description swpalmer 2015-03-27 20:13:02 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_40
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.40-b25

In the "Add Server Instance" dialog, while Glassfish was downloading, the amount of data to be transfered and the amount completed was shown in metres.
Obviously the intension was to show megabytes, which requires two letters a capital 'M' and a capital 'B'.  A single lowercase 'm' is the SI unit for distance, the metre.
If the count is based on powers of 2 units the prefix should be 'Mi', if the multiplier is truly 1000000, then the prefix should be 'M'

This is clearly a very minor issue, but it looks unprofessional.
