Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201510010328) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_66-ea Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.66-b02 Reproducibility: Haven't tried to reproduce it After removing a tomcat 8.0.26 instance that my project was running on, I noticed several buggy behaviors. When I attempted to close the IDE, I got a dialog that asked I wanna save changes made to file "server.xml". This contradicts with the fact that I don't have such file opened in the editor, nor as part of my web project. This is some of the steps I took before I got the issue. STEPS: * removed the tomcat instance from services window * Opened project configuration (server for project is now blank) * Closed configuration without making changes and invoked "debug" run. ACTUAL: 1. got prompt that says "cannot save server". (screenshot attachment 1 [details]) 2. when closing IDE, I got a dialog that asked I wanna save changes made to file "server.xml". (screenshot attachment 2 [details]) This contradicts with the fact that I don't have such file opened in the editor, nor as part of my web project. EXPECTED: For (1), I should be prompted to pick server to run application on For (2), I shouldn't be seeing such dialog at all

Not a P2.
The messages are coming from the low level infrastructure. Would be great if you could get a thread dump (http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump) next time this happens.
BTW Do you run NB with administrative privileges so it has access to server.xml stored under Program Files?
