Description dme 2004-10-22 20:46:55 UTC

My Netbeans 4.0 beta 2 will no longer start after
I got a failure adjusting the properties of a
canvas contained in an AWT GridBagLayout. For the
grid height, I picked the last element off the
list, and got an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Since then, Netbeans has done nothing except give
me exception boxes to close. I restarted the IDE,
got the AIOOBE. and then the IDE looped giving me
NullPointerExceptions. All I can think of to do is
to manually delete the files to get out of it.

The problem is caused by AIOOBEs thrown by GridBagLayout.
This is a known problem of JDK 5.0 beta 2.
See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5055696
It should be fixed in the final release of JDK 5.0.
