Thanks for all of the great feedback on the Java EE 8 support for Apache NetBeans thus far. I have updated the README to direct individuals to install the "Oracle JS Parser" and "nbjavac" after building and running the IDE using a new userdir. Once completed, the IDE should allow one to add GlassFish 5, GlassFish 5.0.1, or GlassFish 5.1 server. The IDE will also allow one to create a new Java EE 8 project or convert an existing project to Java EE 8.
Let me know if you have any questions. I will work on putting together a PR to get these features added to Apache NetBeans proper.
