Description inkoo 2004-12-15 23:20:22 UTC 
IDE shows 'Tried to pass null folder arg' error
when attempting to open a JSP.  Unable to right
click on JSPs from file browser.  Other file types
unaffected.  Reproduced in Windows and Linux
environments.  Previous 4.0 release candidate 2
had no problems opening these JSP files.

Please, can you be more specific? I've just tried it and it works for
me. What build do you use? How can it be reproduced?
Comment 2 inkoo 2004-12-21 15:33:04 UTC 
I have BUILD 200412081800

My file structure is as follows:
-- projectHome
  -- WEB-INF
    -- web.xml
    -- src
      -- build.xml
      -- appsrc
  -- helloWorld.jsp
etc.


I have reproduced the error by 
1. Configuring the project as a project with an existing ant script. 
2. Setting the web pages folder as the projectHome

I have temporarily circumvented the bug by creating a symbolic link
'www' inside the projectHome directory that points to the projectHome
directory, and using that as my web pages folder.

Hope this helps.

Reassigning for evaluation.
Comment 4 zikmund 2005-02-15 13:12:34 UTC 
I'm able to open JSP in your directory configuration with NetBeans 4.1
build 200502142300. Closing as WORKSFORME.

If you still have problems, please attach a sample project (small
enough) with reproducible steps, thanks.
