Description jrojcek 2006-04-10 15:19:16 UTC
Finding	
-Participant added modules to empty enterprise application manually. Thus when he ran the application 
it didn't open up the web browser. Participant wasn't able to write the URL manually.
-Participant deleted index.jsp page and when he deployed his application (that contained 1 servlet) he 
wasn't sure what was wrong. Participant wasn't able to write the URL manually.

Severity	
2 participants didn't know how to proceed. Facilitator had to help him.

Recommendation	
The IDE should tell the user there's no index page when he runs the application.
The IDE should tell the user there's no URL set up.
Consider showing similar dialog to the dialog that shows up when user runs Java Application that 
doesn't have a main method set.
Consider showing a user friendly message in the browser saying something about missing index page 
or something like that.

I think this is most enhancement and should be solved earlier. I will try to fix
it in release 55 if I will have time. 
Comment 2 Petr Pisl 2007-10-18 21:38:43 UTC
There will not be time to fix it in nb 6.0 time frame.
