It s possible that you already have a war file and don t know it - netbeans does most of the work for you and I believe it creates a distributable war file by default  If you created a web project and successfully built it  it will be in the  dist  directory off your project root

If NetBeans haven t created your dist folder  execute the do-dist ant target   In commandline navigate to the directory of your project  the one containing a build xml file  gt  ant do-dist   If ant runs fine  most likely   your dist folder will be created  containing the  war file

As DPA says  the easiest way to generate a war file of your project is through the IDE  Open the Files tab from your left hand panel  right click on the build xml file and tell it what type of ant target you want to run

I had to right-click the build xml file and choose  run   Only then would the  war file be created

User · Answer

Netbeans will create the Ant script for you  it uses Ant to build anyway   But if you want to get the war file  just build your project  The  war file will be located in  yournetbeanshomedirectory yourproject dist yourwar war  You can check out the ant build script it uses by looking at the build xml file in your project directory  Might help you feel a little more comfortable using ant to do builds
