Install Apache Tomcat 7 server
1st Step: Go to http://tomcat.apache.org ⇒ Download ⇒ Tomcat 7.0 ⇒ 7.0.{xx} (where {xx} denotes the latest release) ⇒ Binary distribution ⇒ Core.
Download the “tar.gz” package (e.g., “apache-tomcat-7.0.{xx}.tar.gz“). Next extract the tar.gz folder to the apache-tomcat-7.0.{xx} folder. Rename the folder to “tomcat” and copy the extracted folder.
Go the Applications folder, and paste the tomcat folder.
Configure the Apache Tomcat server
The following files in the /Applications/tomcat/conf folder will be edited in order to configure the server.
- web.xml
- context.xml
- server.xml
Set the TCP Port number
The /Applications/tomcat/conf/server.xml file will be edited to change the port number which runs the apache tomcat server. The default port number the server runs is 8080. This can be run on the default port number if no other application is running on this port. If not you can change the port number by replacing 8080 as follows in the server.xml file (around Line 69).

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.
Quickstart

Here is a quick run through on how to set up TomEE. We will use one of the existing examples for this demo. Let's import it.
Click 'Open Project'.
It's time to add our local TomEE server. Click 'Tools' and then 'Servers'.
Select 'Apache Tomcat'.
Select your local TomEE directory.
It's time to run it. Click the play button.
Select 'Apache Tomcat'.
