NetBeans 6.1: Fixing the insertion of JSR-311 files in to the JSF/Web Application project randomly.

Howdy Folks, just thought I would share an FYI for you all...

Recently I faced this issue with my project: http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=40113

I experienced this issue myself recently; NetBeans 6.1. GlassFish v2ur2

The particulars:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.1 (Build 200804211638)
Java: 1.6.0_05; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_05-b13-52
System: Mac OS X version 10.5.3 running on x86_64; MacRoman; en_US (nb)

I followed the instructions in that blog/forum to remove the following entries in the web.xml and removed the line, com.sun.ws.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer and references to RESTFul Web Services

I have since updated my NetBeans install and updated the recent Jersey plugin to 0.8. On a NetBeans 6.1 restart, I then saw all of these Jersey API's loaded as part of my project and a few lines added to my build-impl.xml which in turn seems to add all of these API's to my project, for example the new build sub-file being imported in to my project <import file="rest-build.xml"/>. I'm not using REST in my Project so I didn't want to add all of those unnecessary libraries.

So to sumarise, make sure you remove all entries to REST in your project, in my case this meant that I needed to remove the import rest instructions as well.

I hope this helps others facing a similar issue.
