When trying to start a Visual Web Application (JSF 1.1) the bundled tomcat won't start. Text from the tomcat tab: Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\NetbeansUserdir\6.5rc2\apache-tomcat-6.0.18_base Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Apache_Tomcat_6.0.18 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\NetbeansUserdir\6.5rc2\apache-tomcat-6.0.18_base\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.6.0_07 Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file) where options include: -client to select the "client" VM -server to select the "server" VM -hotspot is a synonym for the "client" VM [deprecated] The default VM is client. -cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files> -classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files> A ; separated list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to search for class files. -D<name>=<value> set a system property -verbose[:class|gc|jni] enable verbose output -version print product version and exit -version:<value> require the specified version to run -showversion print product version and continue -jre-restrict-search | -jre-no-restrict-search include/exclude user private JREs in the version search -? -help print this help message -X print help on non-standard options -ea[:<packagename>...|:<classname>] -enableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>] enable assertions -da[:<packagename>...|:<classname>] -disableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>] disable assertions -esa | -enablesystemassertions enable system assertions -dsa | -disablesystemassertions disable system assertions -agentlib:<libname>[=<options>] load native agent library <libname>, e.g. -agentlib:hprof see also, -agentlib:jdwp=help and -agentlib:hprof=help -agentpath:<pathname>[=<options>] load native agent library by full pathname -javaagent:<jarpath>[=<options>] load Java programming language agent, see java.lang.instrument -splash:<imagepath> show splash screen with specified image Text from the Project tab: ... jar: deps-ear-jar: deps-jar: library-inclusion-in-archive: library-inclusion-in-manifest: compile: compile-jsps: Starting Tomcat process...

Reassigning to "tomcat".
I'm not able to reproduce this issue with NB7.0 M1. I can "run" a Visual Web app targeted a not-yet-started Tomcat 6.0.18 just fine. The IDE starts the Tomcat server and renders my web app on a browser successfully. When creating the Visual Web app, I selected Tomcat 6.0.18 as the server and Java EE5 as Java EE version. Could you try again with NB 7.0M1?
I tried your suggestion of installing 7.0M1 and it worked here too. In the meantime I also got a new computer, so that may have something to do with this issue - tomcat is now also registered in my installed Netbeans 6.5 and works there, too. As far as I am concerned the issue can be closed. Thanks for the effort.
Ok, belatedly closing as WORKSFORME.
