IDE log file

NetBeans build 201209020001
JDK 7u5 64-bit

Yesterday I installed this build and was working as usual. So I had at least the projects window, files window, services window, and some source files open when I closed the IDE last night. This morning, after some unresponsiveness, the IDE started up with no windows visible.

In the IDE log, I see lots of SAXParseExceptions. (See the attached log for full details.) I am also attaching the windowmanager.wswmgr file (looks fine) as well as explorer.wsmode (most definitely corrupted).

No idea what happened but the window system layout is clearly broken.

Please reopen if you can provide steps to reproduce, thanks.
