Description Mikhail Kondratyev 2008-01-31 17:24:02 UTC 
Tested with 6.0.1 FCS build

Steps to reproduce:
 - install NetBeans+GlassFish
 - start Nb, start GF from NB
 - stop GF, close NB
 - uninstall NB and GF
 - reinstall NB and GF, but install GF to a different location
 - start NB

There will be no GF under the servers node in the services tab

Workaround: 
 - close NB
 - delete NB user dir
 - restart NB, GF will be present

I can propose the simpler scenario:

Steps to reproduce:
 - install NetBeans+GlassFish
 - start Nb, open service tab and expand Servers node (to see GlassFish is there)
 - close NB
 - uninstall NB and GF
 - reinstall NB and GF, but install GF to a different location
 - start NB

There will be no GF under the servers node in the services tab

Workaround: 
 - close NB
 - delete <nbuserdir>/config/J2EE/InstalledServers/.nbattrs or just delete <fileobject name="instance"> part that 
corresponded to the previous (that was uninstalled) location of glassfish
 - restart NB, GF will be present

I stress that the issue is that even though com.sun.aas.installRoot system property is set in netbeans_default_options 
to correct location, this instance does not appear in the IDE if the previous instance (registered in that .nbattrs) 
was not removed.

this is a corner case...

This issue occurs when when user moves from 6.1 to 6.5 and imports settings.
