Hello, I appreciate the effort the community is putting into TomEE. Unfortunately, it is a nightmare to use when developing applications. The biggest problem is trying to get the dependencies to work together. I use Netbeans IDE and I am trying to setup a restful webservice with Jersey and EclipseLink JPA 2. I find that have to constantly move my libraries into the TomEE lib folder. I cannot simply use the libraries as part of my project. Now i have gotten to the point where there is a class not found in compiling and the class is already part of the libraries in the lib folder. I think I am going to have to throw my hands up in the air and go back to Glassfish. I have spent close to 10 hours trying to figure this out. I have been hurdling error after error after error. My recommendation to you is to make development as easy as possible with developers using specific libraries with TomEE.
It should be easy as this: 1) Create new project 2) Add TomEE as server for app runtime 3) Add custom libraries to project 4) Compile and deploy Done. Unfortunately, it is not that way. It is that easy with Glassfish. You will have me converted once you can make it that easy. Thank You. We'd like to hear about anything you'd like to tell us. If you're short on ideas, here are some: - Ways we can speed up or improve your ability to evaluate TomEE - Anything you found difficult or inconvenient about using TomEE - Documentation you would like to see - Features you would like to have - Anything in general to improve TomEE or help us grow Keep in mind that out of every 100 people that try something out, maybe one will actually post about it. Feel incredibly encouraged to let us know about your experiences with TomEE even if you think we've heard it a hundred times. Odds are we have not heard it and, if we have, the most requested things are done first. So definitely let us know! Apache TomEE is free, but you can pay us with feedback :) Best regards, The Apache TomEE community
