Description

NetBeans 8.2 had WildFly server module, which helped greatly in debugging Java EE applications directly from IDE. NetBeans 11.0 does not contain this module, despite boasting to be the first version of Apache NetBeans to offer full support for developing Java EE applications.

I don't think it would be very hard to bring back WildFly server module (currently it does not complile), because copying files of the module from NetBeans 8.2 into NetBeans 11.0 installation, and recreating userdir is enough to bring back that functionality (so the old module still works, but for how long?).

The files I have copied (after removing references to localization files) are:

• enterprise/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-javaee-wildfly.xml
• enterprise/modules/org-netbeans-modules-javaee-wildfly.jar
• enterprise/update_tracking/org-netbeans-modules-javaee-wildfly.xml
