Thanks Geertjan and Neil, I agree with your assessment. Let's deliver 11.1 with the Java EE 8 support, as-is, and we'll continue to improve it for future releases. It is true that I now understand much more of the Java EE support code in NetBeans...so making these enhancements for future releases should be a bit easier.
Just as a side note, I appreciate the feedback on the initial Java EE 8 support, Geertjan. These changes in the upcoming PR will repair the wizard issues. It is all due to the web.xml not being a recognized version at 4.0. I'll +1 this release so we can move onward...thanks again.
