netbeans 7.1.3 tomcat server location not valid

Question

I am using netbenas 7.1.3.

When I try to add the tomcat server to netbeans it says "The specified server location(Catalina Home) folder is not valid".

I have the CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME class paths working as I can get the tomcat server running fine on its own.

I'm using windows 8 x64. The location tomcat is C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.0-RC1.

Any help with this would be great. I have tried several approaches. This includes creating a user with administrative privileges in tomcat its self. enter image description here

I found a solution.

Delete the CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME class paths and

use tomcat version 7 not version 8

Is this the only solution. Suppose I need to use tomcat version 8? – Paul Dec 12 '13 at 14:07
And also what if need to use eclipse(Springsource) also. In that case i need these classpaths. Any other solution? what is the cause of the above issue?? – stallion Apr 08 '14 at 05:21

Try installing the latest version of Netbeans.

If you're running an older version of Netbeans, it may not support the latest versions of Tomcat.
