I often find that I want to push multiple web projects to a given set of servers. If I'm doing this 'by hand', I have to navigate to the project property pane, change the server, and then do the un/deploy action for each project. if I'm working on code that has a number of such projects that all have to essentially be released together, this process becomes tiresome and error prone fairly quickly. eg: suppose there are 4 'environments' that need to be published to on a regular basis. local dev test prod I have 3 projects: projA projB projC for the 'local' setup, all projects point to my local installation of glassfish. for the 'dev' setup, projA and projB publish to 'serverA', but projC publishes to 'serverB' for the 'test' setup, projA->server1, projB->server2, projC->server3 for the 'prod' setup, projA->server10, projB->server11, projC->server12 this would a) be a huge time saver b) provide consistency across multi developer projects c) help reduce error by omission or mistake further, the projects may have dependancies which mean that the projects should be pushed in a particular sequence, so that would need to be factored into the solution also. open-esb based BPEL projects should be included in the list of project types that can be organised into this solution.
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, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
