The server configuration file needs to be created at appropriate times. The user should not be requested to create it manually. Specifically, the configuration file must be created: - when the user creates a new module. - when a new target server is chosen for a module, for which the config file does not exist yet.
Mark as FIXED. This has been implemented before milestone 4. The perception of the bug is because of default server problem: (http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23811). When there is no default, no configuration file will be created.
Nam, thanks for hot fix. I think that this is no longer a P1 but I do not agree that the configuration is created "when necessasry". It is created when the node for data object in web module that has the configuration cookie is created. Practically speaking this happens when you display properties of that data object's node. The correct time for creation of configuration is when the module is created and when you change the type of server to a type which does not yet have the configuration in it.

the configuration is not created when the web module is created, further downgrading. Leaving as a reminder, For other types of module this happens when they create cookies which is not ideal.
Pavel, sorry, I don't completely understand your comment. So what exactly still remains to be done? Thanks.
first I made a typo, what I ment was: "the configuration is now created when the web module is created," ^ second, I thought that it would have been cleaner if we had an explicit call from devmodule rather then creating the configuration silently when there is none, but parhaps this is a cometic issue that is not so important. I will close this issue and the other can be filed separately if there is such concern (I will let it be).
