Description ZaLiTHkA 2015-07-29 12:25:23 UTC 
While configuring Tomcat inside "Tools" > "Servers", we have the option to select a "Catalina Home" and an optional "Catalina Base", but the location of Tomcat's libraries folder is taken as only the "Catalina Home" location and cannot be altered.

Each additional custom base may have it's own libraries folder, which that instance of Tomcat loads directly after the libraries in the home folder, but NetBeans does not look for these folders. Unfortunately this leaves our development instances of Tomcat needing to be configured differently to the production versions, causing irregularities in application configuration that catch myself and my work colleagues more often than any of us like.

Is there any chance of having the NetBeans IDE include both `%CATALINA_HOME%\lib` and `%CATALINA_BASE%\lib` in the project classpath?
