Error installing GlassFish Server (invalid SwiXML descriptor)
This was a bug logged in OpenMQ JIRA: http://java.net/jira/browse/MQ-33
I opened a question for Glassfish since OpenMQ is marked as resolved: http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-18757
The SwiXML error is actually related to the Glassfish configuration. The installer works without problems when the "Install only" option is selected. However, an error will always occur when running the installer to customize the installed Glassfish.
Users of this problem have an alternative path (until a fix is released): 1- Install Glassfish using the install-only option 2- Manually configure domains with asadmin

I decided to use a Unix system to enforce the EN language. On Unix, you need to run the installer as:
LANG = EN./glassfish-3.1.2.2-unix.sh
I have posted an article on my blog (in Spanish) about this: http://balteus.blogspot.com.es/2013/02/error-del-instalador-unix-de-glassfish.html

I have the same problem, and after searching the internet, I could not find a solution, but I noticed that most of the reports for this problem are localized in different languages (Japanese, Portuguese, French ... and Spanish, which is my case). It doesn't matter if Glassfish is multilingual or English as the installer is localized itself.
