To replicate the problem:
1. New project
2. Select Maven->Enterprise Application
3. Next
4. Let default names be, click Next
5. Let default selections and names be (Java EE6, create both EJB and Web modules) and click Finish.
6. Right-click EJB project and select New->Session Bean (we need an EJB in order to deploy, otherwise I think GlassFish will complain..)
7. Give the EJB the default name (NewSessionBean), package "ejb", Session Type=Stateless, Create Interface (don't select anything), click Finish
8. Create a method in the new session bean

    public String helloWorld() {
        return "Hello World";
    }
9. Right-click the EAR project and select Properties
10. Go to Run and select GlassFish Server 3.1
11. Right-click WEB project and select Properties
12. Go to Frameworks and select JavaServer Faces, and select PrimeFaces 2.2.1 as Components Suite
13. Right-click EAR project and select "Build with dependencies"
14. Right-click EAR project and select Run

Expected behavior:
- EAR deployed (OK)
- browser opened showing me the the page from the web project (NOT OK)

I have to "know" the URL, or I have to go into Admin console and open the link. When deploying a WAR file it's opened automatically, it doesn't happen with EAR. Perhaps not a showstopper, but absolutely something that will confuse someone.


This issue is discussed in the NetCAT mailing list, and was asked to file a bug report.
