When creating a new Web Application a new VWP project cannot be created from an existing (JSF based) web application. This makes it nearly impossible to share the project's sources through SVN across a team (as the web application and the NB project are tightly coupled) As an alternative it would be nice if an existing web application could be turned into a VWP project/application
When VWP becomes as a framework of NetBeans web project, this feature will be possible.
This new feature is done in NetBeans 6.0.
