According to UI spec context root property should of web module should be specified in run configuration. This informantion then has to be passed to plugin to deploy to this path but there is no cotract yet.
This is related to the configurations area. Assigning to Pavel.
The proposed design is specifying a property name in netbeans-deployment.xml - this should be the name of the context root property in the WebAppRoot DConfigBean, j2eeserver can then use property listeners to keep the 2 UI locations for this in sync.
