Description mdeggersbeans 2010-12-30 21:49:31 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. New web application
2. Select a reasonable name and location
3. Select a server that only supports J2EE 1.4 and below (such as Tomcat 5.5.31)
4. Default to Java 1.4 source level
5. Select JavaServer Faces in Frameworks

This will lead to an application that cannot run on the targeted server with the chosen servlet specification (2.4) if all that's available is JSF 1.2 or 2.0.

This of course can be solved by creating a library with the appropriate JSF jars.

However, a nice enhancement would be to prevent the choice of incompatible servlet specifications / language levels / frameworks in the wizard.
