We all develop against tomcat - it's just that we have versions of 5.0,
5.5 and 6.0 available. We also have different copies of the tomcat
codebase at different paths and so anything developer-specific will
break any-one else's build. My head says that the server type and all
the other details are not project-specific and so shouldn't be anywhere
near the pom but, like you, I'm open to debate. There are many ways that
I and my gang may well be doing things wrong.

I noticed that when I switched to NB6. However, to add more mess to the
mix some of my guys are sticking to 5.5 for the meantime. Perhaps I need
to issue more dictats.

If I try to run without a server set, I get a dialog that tells me that
I have to set one before I can run. Perhaps I'm not holding my mouth
right.

I'll try again tomorrow when I'm back at work and see if I can get the
behaviour you are describing.


While I'm on, a big thanks from me and from my team for the job you've
done with this though. The netbeans/maven integration has saved us a
load of grief and time so please don't think I'm complaining. If we have
to keep on with manual tinkering around the pom and profiles then
so-be-it.
Later,

Andy
