Using NetBeans 3.6 under Java 1.5 Beta on Fedora Core 1, I'm getting a LOT of NullPointerExceptions in JavaCodeGenerator when doing GUI editing. There seems to be no set pattern to what causes them - it could be adding a component, deleting a component, move a component around or changing some property of a component. It seems to happen in clusters: several times in a row for the same action, which will then start mysteriously working again. When this does happen, it is no longer possible to save my work (since the same NullPointerException will be thrown when saving the file) - the only action is to discard my edits, exit the IDE, and restart. Even then that frequently does not solve the problem, which will recur the next time I perform the action. This a serious impediment to the successful use of NetBeans. Filed under IDE/Code, since I'm not sure where it belongs. I'll attach logs and stack traces in a moment.
Created attachment 14593 [details] IDE.log file for this crash.
Created attachment 14594 [details] Stacktrace for this crash (obtained from error dialog details)
