Description dkkopp 2009-06-24 15:45:00 UTC

I have downloaded the 6.7rc3 enterprise bundle and installed it and Glassfish v3 prelude. The Glassfish v3 server instance shows up fine on the Services tab 
and can be started and stopped normally.

However, when I try to create a new EJB project (or JavaEE Application), the project wizard does not show Glassfish v3 as a selectable server. Therefore, there 
is no way to create a JavaEE 6 based EJB or JavaEE Application project.

This has confused folks for some time now.

I am working on a strategy to fix this for NB 6.8, but I don't have a good one yet.

v3 Prelude does not support Java EE 6... v3 Preview does.

To register a v3 Preview instance you will need to install the 'GlassFish v3 Enabler' module from the update center.

OK. I switched over to Glassfish v3 Preview. Now the project wizard can see the Glassfish v3 server, but Java EE 6 is still not available as a target.

Comment 3 Vince Kraemer 2009-06-25 19:40:20 UTC

That is correct.  NetBeans 6.7 does not have wizards and the like that assist you with creating Java EE 6 application
and modules, so the term 'Java EE 6' does not appear in most places where you might expect it.

That said, the IDE should not prevent you from doing Java EE 6 coding.  You can see examples of using NB 6.7 to do Java
EE 6 development here: http://java.sun.com/javaee/6/docs/firstcup/doc/

NB 6.8 will actively support Java EE 6.  You can get nightly builds of NB 6.8 from here:

I am going to lower this to p3, since 6.8 will have the 'real' v3, which will be able to 'do all'.

Comment 5 Vince Kraemer 2009-09-16 22:23:43 UTC

The error message comes from j2ee.common...

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
