Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 13
### What happened
OS: MacOS 12.3.1
Netbeans version: 13
Deployment descriptors doesn't show GUI views. For example, in my workspace, opening the grassfish-web.xml shows the GUI views, but opening the web.xml file only shows 'source and history' views. The icons in projects section also look different, where when I hover my mouse over glassfish-web.xml(in Projects screen) it shows "sun-* Deployment Descriptor", but for web.xml(in Projects screen) it shows "XML Document". Both files were created using Netbeans wizard screens.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in Apache NetBeans 13 on macOS using the web.xml and glassfish-web.xml files created by the NetBeans wizard. Compare the available views and project icons; done when web.xml exposes the expected GUI views and is identified consistently as a deployment descriptor.
