# NetBeans 7 + TomEE 1.5.2 Integration

NetBeans comes with Tomcat integration already. http://tomee.apache.org is Tomcat On Steroids. TomEE looks and feels like Tomcat.


To integrate TomEE with NetBeans:

Download and extract TomEE
Setup TomEE's roles for deployment in tomcat-users.xml:


<role rolename="tomee-admin" />
  <user username="tomee" password="tomee" roles="(...),manager-script" />



Add TomEE to NetBeans: Tab: Services --> Servers --> Add Server, choose Tomcat
Specify the user and password from tomcat-users.xml
"Run" a Java EE 6 application from NetBeans. It works with Maven and Ant projects



Some interesting log statements:



INFO: OpenWebBeans Container has started, it took 5 ms.
INFO: Server startup in 1364 ms
