Pierre Delisle had downloaded the beta build and had imported settings from 3.5. He has the portal module enabled, but I don't think this is a factor in the circumstances. He had several directories mounted (~20), none of them recognized by the IDE as web modules. We created a new web module and added a JSP, and then tried to execute it. It wouldn't execute and deployment failed. The deployment window disappeared before we could see the message about the failed deployment. I will atach the ide.log, the relevant stacktraces are at the end of the file.

I downgrade this to a P2 since we only see it on one machine (apologies, my record of the bug filing guidelines is hazy). Will work with Pierre to discover what the problem is.
Pierre and I did some more work on this one today. We tried with a fresh user directory, and then with a fresh user directory after restarting the server to ensure that there were no conflicting processes running. In neither case could we get the server to run. In the second scenario, we saw an error message in the deployment status bar (Unexpected EOF from server). I attach the logs from both starts. This happens in the beta release.

Pierre, is this testing done with the bundled tomcat server or with a server that you've added to the IDE? Can you check what is the list of modules deployed to the server? Thanks.
It was done with the bundled server - that's why we started with a fresh user directory. There was no Tomcat running on the system. We also tried after restarting the server to ensure that there was no other process running starting from another program.
I put some patches in the codebase which could help us track the problem. To use them, please use the latest continuous build of NetBeans, and run the IDE with -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.tomcat5.LogManagerCommands=true On Windows, you can do this by adding the line above to ide.cfg. This will print out some extra debug messages on deployment to the console. Could you please try this out and attach the messages to this issue? Thanks.
I fixed one of the NPEs in the first log, although this is not the main cause of this problem.
I tested with the latest build and now everything works like a charm. Thanks!
