A similar problem has also been described here: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/fabriziogiudici/archive/2007/07/using_the_netbe.html but I have another issue with it. Tomcat starts fine if you just want to run the app. The problem only occurs when you try to use the profiler. The installer installs my Netbeans inside: /Applications/Netbeans and Tomcat inside the Netbeans directory. ie: /Applications/Netbeans/apache-tomcat-6.0.13 But when I try to start Tomcat using the profiler, it tells me it is looking for Tomcat in: /Applications/Netbeans/Netbeans/apache-tomcat-6.0.13 Hence it can't start. I can't, though, figure out where it is getting this wrong path from. The error message says that it is in line 19 of profiler-build-impl.xml. ie: antcall target="${profiler.startserver.target}"/> My java version is 1.5.0_07
looks like problem is in SPACE_IN_PATH see Issue 103046 I removed all spaces from NB path and profiled web application without any problems
plz, attach messages.log from the IDE
Yes, the issue is definitely a problem with a spaces in the paths. Removing the spaces in the paths, I've managed to get it running.
