Description Jason Rush 2003-02-21 08:18:01 UTC 
NetBeans dev build 200302220100.

1. Configure the IDE to use an external instance of Tomcat.
2. Start the external Tomcat server outside the IDE.
3. In the IDE, right-click on the Tomcat node and 
choose "Start Server".
4. You will correctly get an error that the port is 
already in use and the status in the Server Registry will 
read "Not Running".  This is correct because the IDE does 
not have control of this Tomcat instance.
5. However, the Tomcat instance will incorrectly be shown 
in the Execution View even though start up failed.

This could be misleading to the user.

I believe Damian has noticed this behavior before, but the 
risk of the fix was percieved too high to fix this. A 
clean and risk-free solution should be made possible by 
the new JSR 88-based deployment framework, planned for NB 
4.0.

So I suggest we don't fix this for NB 3.5, if it's ok with 
you, Jason.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2003-03-03 10:51:32 UTC 
This is also related to 23822. Needs to be addressed by 
the new JSR 88-based server integration infrastructure.
Comment 3 Petr Jiricka 2004-01-28 20:54:54 UTC 
Now Tomcat is not in execution view -> fixed.
