Still happens in NetBeans 8.1

The offending plugin is: jetty-server-nb-1.0 (http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/54458/jetty-server-nb-1-0)

Same scenario as described before: trying to "Add Server"... etc...

Disabling the plugin (or removing it) solves the problem.

There seems to be a conflict somewhere at the modules/plugins level.
I did remove the ~/.netbeans/... dir and started NetBeans 8.1 from scratch. Added the jetty-server-nb-1.0 and now "Add Server..." works all right.
