Given that JEE support is in the next drop and glassfish/tomcat are a part of
the bundle then i can only assume so.
That's not to say that the IDE could say “if you need this then go download
that elsewhere and configure manually”, however; one of NetBeans IDE’s
advantages has always been a single install and you have everything.
Another option would be to only provide a single servlet/JEE container OOTB and
not allow user customisation. Given licensing that would mean tomcat is fine as
it’s apache licensed, don’t know what will need to be done to bundle glassfish
though.
