I use the netbeans deploy which deploys in place, so nothing appears in that directory. In the project directory there might be something there but on a build it doesn't fail to overwrite any files, it just fails to deploy.
BTW, at the moment it is deployed and I can redeploy now too. I'm not sure why it is behaving properly now.
