This issue comes out on a Tuesday, because of yesterday's public holiday 
in the Czech Republic.

Builds:

Q-build was not promoted. The most serious q-stoppers were caused by the 
recent changes in the area of module dependencies. See details at:

Leon Chiver submits a patch which adds the capability to incrementally 
search files and folders in the IDE explorer. The patch is accepted, 
integrated and now it works. How easy !

Although NetBeans supports debugging Java Web Applications in Tomcat, it
