NetBeans has supported deployment onto remote GlassFish for a long time.

There is a new feature into today's dev build that improves that feature significantly. Users can see the log for remote GlassFish Server 3.1 instances

The log view window can be opened using the 'View Server Log' menu item, that is in the instance's right-click menu in the Services explorer, if the remote server is running.

The log view will open automagically when you deploy a project to a remote GlassFish Server 3.1 instance, too.

This feature is built on top of the view-log request that is part of the RESTful interface for GlassFish Server 3.1. Ludo did the heavy lifting for this feature in that module.
