Description timsmall 2008-04-28 17:37:21 UTC 
Many tomcat installations restrict access to the ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/server.xml files - when it encounters such an
unreadable server.xml, netbeans incorrectly announces "The <CATALINA_HOME>/conf/server.xml configuration file seems to
be corrupted." - leading to great gnashing of teeth, re-installations, and swearing when the user realises that the
error message was completely bogus.

In fact, netbeans shouldn't require read access to server.xml file at all, but provide a facility to provide the
information that it requires.
