I've just created a fresh web application in Netbeans. Project builds fine. However, once I hit run Tomcat starts up fine, but no browser window opens.

If I go under Services > Apache Tomcat or TomEE > Web Applications I can see 'Please wait...' where my project name should be.

Why isn't Tomcat running my project. If I go to localhost/port I can see that Tomcat is running fine but the project is stuck on 'Please wait...'.

I'm using Tomcat 9, Java 16, Java EE 8 Web, Netbeans 12, and Maven Compiler 3.1. If anything else is need to help then please leave comment or message me and I'll get right back

I can't seem to see any issue in the server logs either. What is the issue?

Not sure how to close the question so I'll answer it myself in case others run into same issue. Problem was simply that the version of Netbeans (12.0 LTS) I was using wasn't compatible with JDK 16 as @skomisa mentioned in a comment. Thanks.
