Server Manager - add Server
Our current product uses Resin as it's webserver/jsp container. There doesn't appear to be any way to add it. I am currently evaluating Sun Java(TM) Studio Entreprise 8.1 Beta in a windows 2000 environment.
Can you point me to a how-to on adding servers not included in the server list? Or on how to add a server type to the list?
We also have some sub-projects that use tomcat, so I will be starting with those, but our main product is locked into Resin (not my call), so if I can't test against a Resin server, I won't be able to use this.

> how to add a server type to the list?
Supported server types are not user editable. The ide works with different types of servers via plugins which are modules written for the NetBeans ide. (JSE is built on top of NetBeans).
JSE8.1 is bundled with plugins that support Sun Java System Application Server, tomcat etc and as of now does not support resin.
There may be resin plugins for NetBeans from external vendors that you can perhaps try; i came across the following by googling:

Of course j2ee apps are intended to be portable so you can perform your development/debugging on the bundled servers and use resin-supplied tools to deploy the app on to a resin server upon development completion.

As far as supported server types are concerned, you can add as many instances of these (whether the instances are local or remote) as needed. You do so by right-clicking the 'Servers' node in 'Runtime' tab in the projects window and selecting 'add server'.
