Using build 200512182030 Create a JFrame, leave the the layout to free design. Add a JTabbedpane. Right click the tabbedPane in the inspector, add from palette - swing - JPanel. This leads to a nullpointer. It's pasted in the textarea in the example. Workaround : add directly from palette to the form. Bart

It is reproducible in the build 200601101900 (RC1) also. The workaround is easy, but how difficult would be to fix it for 5.0, Tomasi, Honzo?
Fixed in trunk. The fix is very simple, but I'm not sure if this issue is serious enough to push the fix to 5.0. /cvs/form/src/org/netbeans/modules/form/MetaComponentCreator.java new revision: 1.84; previous revision: 1.83
Verified.

Seems this would be a good candidate for 5.5 fixes. What do you think Marek?
Absolutely agree!
Fix integrated into 5.5.
