I changed the project.properties with the following values. build.dir=C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 5.0/webapps dist.dir=C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 5.0/dist The above setup worked fine for me. Later I changed the above properties with following values as following: build.dir=web dist.dir=dist I build the project and I run the index.jsp file from NetBeans editor. Then It created a lot files. I try to delete the generated folders but Windows XP Prompt Box ( Error Deleting File or Folder) me that: Cannot delete CUSTOM~1: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write- protected and that the file is not currently in use. =============================================== Following is the result when I run index.jsp file: init: deps-jar: Copying 9 files to F:\projects\PRJSCO\CustomTagsLib\web\CustomTagsLi b Unable to create directory F:\projects\PRJSCO\CustomTagsLib\web\CustomTagsLi b\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\Custo mTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLi b\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\Custo mTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLi b\CustomTagsLib Unable to create directory F:\projects\PRJSCO\CustomTagsLib\web\CustomTagsLi b\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\Custo mTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLi b\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\Custo mTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLib\CustomTagsLi b\WEB-INF compile: compile-jsps: run-deploy: Starting server Bundled Tomcat (5.0.28) Starting Tomcat process...

move to web
The problem is that you used build.dir=web instead of build.dir=build in your case all web content (which was in directory web was copied into web), repreting Build several times will cause web\web\web\web\web\... etc. directory.
