Description lukeester 2014-04-07 14:15:37 UTC 
Since I run multiple J2EE containers (namely JBoss and Tomcat) at the same time on my PC, I created loopback interfaces for each instead of messing with the ports.  When Tomcat is running and bound to a loopback interface, Netbeans cannot detect that it is running.

To reproduce:
1. Create a loopback interface (with a different IP address from 127.0.0.1)
2. Modify the Tomcat server.xml file to bind to this new IP address
3. Add this Tomcat instance as a server in Netbeans
4. Start Tomcat
5. Refresh the Services -> Servers node and see that Netbeans reports that Tomcat is not running.
