Description jan.cetkovsky 2014-09-19 22:39:58 UTC 
The Tomcat/TomEE plugin doesn't support server.xml with references to catalina.properties

e.g. if server.xml contains

<Executor name="tomcatThreadPool"
                  namePrefix="catalina-exec-"
                  maxThreads="${executor.1.threads.max}"
                  minSpareThreads="${executor.1.threads.spare.min}"
                  prestartminSpareThreads="true"/>

and catalina.properties 

executor.1.threads.max=150
executor.1.threads.spare.min=25

Netbeans shows the following message in the Add server wizard:

The <CATALINA_HOME>/conf/server.xml configuration file seems to be corrupted


If the properties names are manually replaced by the values, the wizard proceeds without a problem.

Reference to Tomcat documentation describing the usage of properties in server.xml:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/

I tested it on Mac, however the problem is most likely platform independent.
