Netbeans build failure

Question

Brand new to netbeans and working on the address-book tutorial. I am able to run the program without issues but when I build I get the following error. I have yet to find any possible solutions to the issue

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.4:redeploy (deploy) on project address-book: Execution deploy of goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.4:redeploy failed: Failed to create deployer with implementation class org.codehaus.cargo.container.glassfish.GlassFish4xInstalledLocalDeployer for the parameters (container [id = [glassfish4x]], deployer type [installed]). InvocationTargetException: The container configuration directory "c://glassfish4/glassfish/domains" does not exist. Please configure the container before attempting to perform any local deployment.

How does Maven know which server to deploy to and where is it located?

It's all in the pom.xml file.

Sometimes you will have to trace up the parents of the pom.xml to find it.

In the case of Java EE tutorial, when I was building project hello1, Maven couldn't find the location of my GlassFish server.

I traced up the parents of pom.xml to find C:\mine\tools_installation\glassfish4\docs\javaee-tutorial\examples\pom.xml(51):
<glassfish.home.prefix>c:/</glassfish.home.prefix> Then I changed it to <glassfish.home.prefix>c:/mine/tools_installation</glassfish.home.prefix>.
