[ BUILD # : beta2 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6 ] steps: 1) create a new sample project (blueprints) ajax autocompletion only 2) when finished the step to create it, the dialog popup "Resolve Missing server problem" to set the target server. 3) open the dialog and choose tomcat 5.5.9 4) press F6 to run it if everything went fine, now go to Runtime tab, right click at tomcat, and stop it it takes a long time, then a popup diplays "tomcat cannot be stopped" something like that. But after some time, tomcat stops. Confusing...
From the description, it doesn't look like a real NB issue. Tomcat plugin reports that the server cannot be stopped, if stopping does not finish in a certain amount of time - current timeout is three minutes, I guess. Normally Tomcat stops very fast - in a few secs. In some cases, however, it may take much longer: if there is a lot of deployed applications, if the server is overloaded, etc.
