Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2000-08-08 11:58:59 UTC 
Details to reproduce? Looks like you have a bogus lib/ext/jh.jar or otherwise
have an extra bogus copy of JavaHelp in your searchpath, maybe...? What modules
do you have installed that have helpsets, do all of their help main pages appear
individually without errors?
Comment 2 Ivan Bradac 2000-08-08 12:13:59 UTC 
OK, the error was probably caused by additional modules. It does not occur on
newly installed build.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2000-08-08 12:26:59 UTC 
Well that's good...I lowered the priority for that reason. But if some modules
cause this exception, that is a bug in those modules, *probably* caused by a
typo or something in their helpset...if you can narrow down exactly what causes
it, it would probably be an easy fix.
Comment 4 Ivan Bradac 2000-08-08 12:44:59 UTC 
Well, I'm sorry, I made probably a mistake. I found the bug in IE and it
doesn't occur in CE. That's why I think some additional moduls may cause it.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2000-08-08 13:57:59 UTC 
OK, find the affected IE module and file (or just get fixed) a separate bug
outside Bugzilla. Marking as invalid since there is no known NetBeans bug here.
Comment 6 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 15:58:30 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:21:57 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
