Description Martin Schovanek 2010-01-04 10:12:55 UTC 
[Nb 6.8, jdk1.6]

to reproduce:
-------------
1) create a new Java EE 6 Maven Web project
2) create a new Servlet and select 'Add information to web.xml' option
ERROR: Nb does not crate the web.xml

In case the WEB-INF folder exists the web.xml is created. But the Java EE 6 Maven Web project does not have this folder by default.
Comment 1 Milos Kleint 2010-01-05 02:23:34 UTC 
there is no point in having the webinf folder in every project, we cannot even guarantee it will be there in all projects. reassigning to the generic web support, when creating the web.xml file, it should create the relevant folder as well..

Andrey, can you please take a look?
Comment 3 David Konecny 2010-02-02 12:43:55 UTC 
yeap, Milos is right, the folder should be created on demand
Comment 4 Andrey Yamkovoy 2010-02-03 08:11:41 UTC 
Fixed in the web-main.
Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2010-02-03 21:45:27 UTC
