Hi Richard, Thanks for the message regarding Java EE 8 support in NetBeans 11. We are working on providing Java EE 8 support (and Jakarta EE support) for an upcoming release. It was a very large task to get the code transfer for the Java EE support and licensing conversion completed so that a the Java EE support could be included with NetBeans, so unfortunately Java EE 8 support did not make it yet.
I am surprised to hear that the Maven web application creation did not complete successfully. However, I do see that you are running Apache NetBeans under JDK 10. Can you please try to run Apache NetBeans under the same JDK8 that you are using with GlassFish 5.1? I think that may be your issue with the Maven support. Since GlassFish 5.1 only supports JDK 8, you may find inconsistencies in behavior if you are trying to manage the server using JDK 9+. Thanks for the feedback, and the team will keep you updated on Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE support.
