This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
1. Use zip-based distribution without a registered GlassFish 2. Create a new Maven web application 3. Create a new Persistence Unit in this project => the Persistence Library field does not offer any pre-registered libraries, only the "New..." and "Manage..." items.
It may have sense to change behavior and block pu creation if server isn't set as there was other reports for maven like jta/local transaction choice etc as before server is selected it's not known if it support jta or not, also default and supported providers are unknown so pu wizard don't know what options to suggest and if it's required or not to add library and may be more.
require some decision on design in case if server platform/properties etc can't be defined
just tried with removed home dir in locally buils nb and the issue seems fixed by some change occasionally. but according to 178970 it's not possible to create pu as server isn't set.
Yes, I think this can be closed now.
fixed either way if it will be allowed or not to create pu.
