After creating a Dynamic Web Project and adding Portlet capabilities to it (and correct facets to the server), I add the project to the EPP server I have setup within JBT (or JBDS) through the 'Add and Remove...' system, however the project does not deploy to the server. I also tried deploying through highlighting the project in the 'Project Explorer' and clicking on the green arrow button and selecting 'Run As' -> 'Run on Server', but still did not work (I tried these things before the server was started and while the server was running -> should have worked in both cases).

I can confirm however that using the 'Export' option and exporting as a 'WAR file' allows me to create a WAR file of the project and then manually place it into the 'deploy' folder of the server profile in use (for all of this it was the 'default' profile), and this would work -> both when the server was stopped and while it was running.

This to me seems like a huge issue (perhaps even deserves to be a blocker).

If I can assist by providing any further information please let me know.
