Netbeans should just upgrade imo.

Hi everybody.
I am the maintainer of the NetBeans CRUD Generator module and question
I've been asked a few times now is whether it works with Tomcat. I always
refer the user to TomEE because of its EJB support that's required. One
problem, though, is that NetBeans does not recognize TomEE as a valid Java
EE 6 application server. And so, generating JSF pages from Entity Classes
as well as my module for generating PrimeFaces pages from Entity Classes
fails because the GUI won't let you continue.
I've stuck my head into the NetBeans source code to find out exactly how
they make that determination and found that they are looping through the
project's classpath. And if they find a file that begins with
"openejb-tomcat", the user can continue with the GUI to generate those
pages. The standard TomEE distribution does contain a whole bunch of JARs
that begin with "openejb-*", none of the actually are called
openejb-tomcat. So I tested simply renaming a the "openejb-http-4.5.2.jar"
to "openejb-tomcat-4.5.2.jar", and lo and behold, NetBeans thinks TomEE is
a Java EE 6 server.
First off, I don't know if I renamed to right file, but TomEE itself seems
to start and operate just fine with the renamed file. Next, I was wondering
if, for future releases, you could pick one of the openejb- files and name
it openejb-tomcat-*.jar so that NetBeans detection works properly? I know
it's more of a NetBeans issue rather than TomEE/OpenEJB issue, but that is
a HUGE project and getting things rolling in that project is slow to say
the least. I have a feeling, a simple change in file name would not be too
hard for you guys to accomplish for future releases?
Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.

Kay Wrobel
