There is some great information over at Geertjan’s Blog on how to hit the ground running with Netbeans, CXF and Maven. Geertjan is a Netbeans evangelist and has an incredible insight into everything Netbeans.

WORKAROUND: There is a known issue with Netbeans 8 and TomEE detection that currently requires the following workaround:

Netbeans 8 has a bug in which it fails to find the tomee-common-[version].jar in the [TomEE]/lib directory. The solution is to simply rename the jar file to an older version.

For example, you have [TomEE]/lib/tomee-common-1.6.0.2.jar or [TomEE]/lib/tomee-common-1.7.1.jar. Rename these files to [TomEE]/lib/tomee-common-1.6.0.jar

This should resolve the detection issue and will not break your installation - Be sure to document the change for yourself as a reminder.
