Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 13
### What happened
NetBeans will not run a Gradle war in Tomcat.
### How to reproduce
This works:
New Project… > "Java with Gradle" > "Web Application" > I choose your Tomcat Server and Java EE version > Finish.
Project Properties > Run > note it shows your server and Context Path.
Click the Run button and Tomcat starts and the app is deployed and runs.
This doesn’t work:
Quit NetBeans, delete the .gradle folder within the project (from above), relaunch NetBeans, Resolve the Priming dialog, click Run and it won’t run in Tomcat.
Project Properties > Run > Reset the Server to Tomcat, and enter a Context Path, and click OK, then go back in and note the Context Path is blank again. It will not remember the Context Path.
Clicking the Run button will launch Tomcat, but the app will not be deployed.
Copy the "nb-cache" folder from the original .gradle folder to the new .gradle folder, the Context Path comes back.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No
### Operating System
Windows 10 Enterprise
### JDK
Java 10
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans provided installer
### Anything else
I said "No" to "Did this work correctly in an earlier version?", but I don't actually know.
This is the behavior I’m seeing trying to run my own Gradle projects, not created from the “Java with Gradle” example. So, I can't seem to run any of my own Gradle projects from NetBeans in Tomcat.
