Problem accessing JNDI context in glassfish server from standalone client on same machine

Struggling as a newbie to access JMS resources from a standalone client from a Glassfish 4 server running on the same Windows 7 64-bit machine,
running in NetBeans. (want to do this for debugging)

I have had lots of problems trying the create a context and googling has led me to add the following to the classpath

jar:file:/C:/Users/..../Java/xom-1.2.7/XOM/xom-1.2.7.jar (was there anyway I think?)
jar:file:/C:/Oracle/FMW_Home/modules/javax.jms_1.1.1.jar
jar:file:/C:/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/jndi-properties.jar
jar:file:/C:/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/gf-client.jar
jar:file:/C:/glassfish4/glassfish/modules/glassfish-naming.jar
jar:file:/C:/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/javaee.jar
jar:file:/C:/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/appserv-rt.jar

That didn't help so I also manually installed dependences as follows:

cepdemo
cepdemopersistence
1.1-SNAPSHOT


javax.jms
javax.jms-api
2.0


org.glassfish.appclient
gf-client
3.1.1
runtime


org.glassfish.common
glassfish-naming
3.1.1
runtime

During the build I get these messages:

The POM for cepdemo:cepdemopersistence:jar:1.1-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available
The POM for org.glassfish.appclient:gf-client:jar:3.1.1 is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available, enable debug logging for more details
The POM for org.glassfish.common:glassfish-naming:jar:3.1.1 is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available, enable debug logging for more details

The first jar is one I've created and added as a dependency. Didn't get this message before I added the other 2 jars as runtime dependences.

I've got beyond exceptions trying to access the class "com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory"
but now get the following

Below are relevant snippets of code........

public class xxxMain {

public final static String JNDI_FACTORY = "com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory";
public final static String URL = "corbaname:iiop://localhost:7676";

...
stuff going on

....
// then get jndi context to access glassfish resources

InitialContext jndiContext = null;

ConnectionFactory qconFactory = null;
Connection conn = null;
Queue queue;
QueueSession qsession = null;
QueueSender qsender = null;
try {
jndiContext = InitQueueContext.getInitialContext(URL);
//jndiContext = new InitialContext();
} catch (NamingException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(TradeInjectorMain.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

abstract class InitQueueContext {

public static InitialContext getInitialContext(String url)
throws NamingException {

Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, JNDI_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
return new InitialContext(env); // stops here
}

}

Any guidance would be welcome

Thank you
