I believe Glassfish 6.1 only supports JDK11, as per https://glassfish.org/

Note this release requires JDK 11.

NB knows to only allow this combination, it is defined in enterprise/glassfish.tooling/src/org/netbeans/modules/glassfish/tooling/server/config/GlassFishV6_1_0.xml. The error message is a bit misleading...

Running NB + Glassfish on JDK11, Glassfish 6.1 is detected by NB, can be added as a server, and starts/runs fine for me.

N.B. Because GF6.1 is JDK11 only, you will get an error trying to start GF6.1 using asadmin in a terminal with JDK8 (org/glassfish/admin/cli/AsadminMain has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime.).
