The configuration related API has to be redesigned because of migration to Retouche. Since the redesign already introduced incompatible changes we tried to fix also a couple of long-time issues which required incompatible changes. For further description of the changes please refer to the following document http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/DDBeanRemoval

There is some pressure to integrate this API change to trunk, even though it is not final yet, since it blocks the development and integration of other features. Finalization of this API change depends on the completion of the new merged deployment descriptor model. Since we are going to violate the standard API review process, please note that this is a friend API, here is a list of further steps. 1. Starting the API review 2. Integration of the proposed API changes to trunk. This should be done very soon, preferably the next day. 3. Finalization of the API changes when the merged deployment descriptor model is ready. There is no schedule yet 4. Fixing the issues discovered by reviewers 5. Integration of the final API changes to trunk 6. Closing the API review
I just make the link to the related masterpiece more visible.

Now we have to wait for the completion of the merged deployment descriptor model
Obsolete milestone, please reevaluate
Looks like forgotten API review request. Please handle it somehow (won'tfix?).
This was completed in NetBeans 6, and it is a direct consequence of the Retouche migration. Adding Petr Hejl to cc so he can comment.
Closing as fixed as this is already regular part of the trunk (j2eeserver api).
