After importing an existing project into the latest dev NetBeans build, I attempted to 'debug' my webapp. This is my normal procedure, since I gain all the benefits of debugging. Tomcat gave the appearance of hanging. The deployment dialog let me close it, but the progress never reached 100%. As an observation, I noticed the debug UI did take effect in the IDE. I attempted a restart of the IDE and could easily recreate the problem with my current webapp. I then decided to try an 'execute' the webapp. This worked. It seemed to have created the context in Tomcat, and all worked. Subsequently, I shutdown Tomcat and attempted a 'debug'. This time it worked. Attached is what I found in the ide.log file after running into the problem initially. Subsequently I undeployed my app (as a test), and attempted to start Tomcat with a 'debug' session to recreate the problem. This time it worked. Perhaps the IDE log info can pinpoint a slight defect.

This sounds nasty. Shouldn't this really be a P2? Clever, what build are you using? Can you please try the latest dev build, if you haven't done so already? Thanks.
I was using a dev build from last week. I am downloading the latest build and will attempt to recreate the problem in it. Since my initial encounter with this problem it's been smooth sailing, which is good, but I'd hate to have a serious problem slip through the cracks. I'll try to recreate and update this bug.
I think I recall a similar exception from an older build that was then reported as fixed in a newer build. If you can test with new build and see the problem again I will change it back to 36 and perhaps rise to P2. Marking for promo-D for now.
looks like it was fixed, if you can still reproduce it please reopen this issue
