This really doesn't rate being p3 IMO. If the user deployed the web app via Netbeans, there is a fine gui editor tht they can use. If the user deploys through the admin gui, there are ways to display the DD in the admin gui... This is a pretty "edge" case.
I agree with Vince. There are far better ways to view the deployment descriptors in this context, which he has already enumerated. Downgrading to P4. Recommend defer to post 5.5.
we do not display this in the v3 plugin. we probably won't. changing the v2 plugin to address this is not a high priority. lowering to p5.
I don't see this functionality in V2 too. Closing as WONTFIX.
