Evening All,

I'm trying to develop servlets using NetBeans (www.netbeans.org), and having
trouble getting NetBeans to recognise imported code as a servlet. This is
giving me problems as I'm trying out the code from 'Professional Java
Servlets 2.3'.

The NetBeans help file recommends mounting the source directory and
right-clicking on the .java file then selecting Tools | Mark as Servlet.
Unfortunately this option doesn't exists on the NetBeans menu (unless mark
as RMI is the same thing...?).

The NetBeans support pages have a lot of deep techie info on trying to hack
NetBeans to make it debug Tomcat 4 (apparently it's not really supported
yet), but that's way over my head and I'm just trying to get code completion
and compilation working under NetBeans.

Has anyone been down this route before?
