C:\Users\loggedInUser\Documents\NetBeansProject\project1\nbproject\build-impl.xml:1045: The module has not been deployed." error, we have found out the solution or workaround to get the project compiled successfully.

We could not fix this issue with GlassFish Server 4.1.1 version, but we found another alternative to fix this issue.
