Ich checked the log file of NB and found:

INFO [org.apache.tools.ant.module]: Cannot find import C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\ant-deploy.xml from C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\build-impl.xml

java.io.IOException: Cannot find import C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\ant-deploy.xml from C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\build-impl.xml
	at org.apache.tools.ant.module.api.support.TargetLister$Script.interpretTasks(TargetLister.java:410

ant-deploy.xml is in subdirectory .\nbproject, not in \OopsWeb.
I moved ant-deploy.xml into the main directory \OopsWeb. Then running The EAR worked.

Both build-impl.xml and ant-deploy.xml should be located in nbproject subfolder. Your earlier error log confirms that, eg. "[...]java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\nbproject\build-impl.xml:347[...]" but in your last report you seem to moved build-impl.xml to project root? Btw. opening of project checks whether nbproject/build-impl.xml is uptodate and if it is not the IDE will regenerate it. So if you moved your one to project root then IDE should regenerated one in nbproject folder and use that one. Could you confirm or shed more light please? Thanks.

Hallo David,
no, I did not move build-impl.xml to  the project root, but a copy of the NB7.1.1 version was there.
I reproduced the case with a copy of ant-deploy.xml in the project root. Running my EAR did not work as opposed to my second comment. So forget this second comment.
I repeated the test with all files at their correct locations. I got the same error message as in my first report. The build failed and the EAR did not run.
I found the following lines in the NB log:
WARNING [org.openide.filesystems.Ordering]: Not all children in Loaders/text/x-ant+xml/Factories/ marked with the position attribute: [org-apache-tools-ant-module-loader-AntProjectDataLoader.instance], but some are: [org.apache.tools.ant.module.resources.xml-ergonomics.instance]

I am using glassfish V2.1.1.
As long as deploying and running does not work I will stay with NB 6.7.1

if you add failonerror="false" to the copy task you will be able to proceed, otherwise you will need to wait for the patch to 6.8 that includes these changes.

Hallo Vince,
(In reply to comment #6)
> mark as fixed

Hallo Mark,
I added failonerror="false" to the copy task in build-impl.xml. The EAR started. I got the following warnings:
Warning: C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\dist\gfdeploy\OopsWeb not found.
Warning: C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\dist\gfdeploy\OopsWeb not found.

But after accessing the first ejb module I got the following exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" javax.ejb.NoSuchEJBException
        at oops.database.remote._UserHandlerRemote_Wrapper.getUser(oops/database/remote/_UserHandlerRemote_Wrapper.java)
        at oops.app.OopsLogin.doLogin(OopsLogin.java:371)
        at oops.app.OopsLogin.btnLoginActionPerformed(OopsLogin.java:323)

...
When I start the deployed EAR by the browser and JavaWebStart allworks fine.

Hallo Vince,
I installed the recommended build *200912151400* of NB6.8.
But I run still glassfish V2.1.1.
Clicking "deploy" does not deploy my EAR.
I got the following messagesof run-deploy:

pre-run-deploy:
Initial deploying OopsWeb to C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\dist\gfdeploy
Completed initial distribution of OopsWeb
Start registering the project's server resources
Finished registering server resources
moduleID=OopsWeb
deployment started : 0%

Deploying application in domain failed; Error loading deployment descriptors for module [OopsWeb] -- error in opening zip file --  invalid zip file: C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\dist\gfdeploy\OopsCommon.jar

BUILD FAILED (total time: 8 seconds)

Comment: 
the location of the file OopsCommon.jar is \gfdeploy\lib\OopsCommon.jar, not gfdeploy\OopsCommon.jar
Similiar messages are issued for 2 other libraries.

Can you describe the content of your ear for me?

Or better yet, attach an ear file that demonstrates this issue?  That will speed up the fix, since it will eliminate a lot of guess work.

Hallo Vince,
seems that my system or me works rather randomly, sorry for that.
I repeated the test with NetBeans 6.8 IDE Build 200912151400.
Results:
deploy: ok without any warnings or error message.
run EAR within netbeans: works, but with the following warnings:

Warning: C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\dist\gfdeploy\OopsWeb not found.
Warning: C:\Work-BO\Eigene-Programme\java_NetBeans_6_8\OopsWeb\dist\gfdeploy\OopsWeb not found.

That is correct: \dist\gfdeploy\OopsWeb does not exist.
But why does netbeans ask for this sub folder; \dist\gfdeploy is created by netbeans.

Launching the application in a browser using JavaWebStart works too.
So all is ok.
So there is no reason, to look at an EAR file. But if you will do so, you will find it at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oops-easytrack

Click "view all files" and select the zip file below release web-3.5.
