Description mastema 2008-03-08 09:49:34 UTC

I cannot open the IDE (not even from command line with an empty user directory).
The IDE openes totally empty and I cannot open any project. There is an error icon in the bottom-right corner. When I 
click this image I get the next error message: "A java.lang.NullPointerException exception has occurred.
Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/community/issues.html,
including a copy of your messages.log file as an attachment.
The messages.log file is located in your ...\.netbeans\6.0\var\log folder.".

The last time when I used the Netbeans I wanted to debug one of my J2ME projects that wouldn't start for some reason 
(when I tried to run the project without debugging the default emulator closed once I pressed Launch button). When I 
tried to debug the project (I've put a breakpoint in the startApplication method of the MIDlet) suddenly the source 
code section and the preojects list disapeared and I could only see the buttons (such 
as "Projects", "Output", "Breakpoints" etc.) all grouped in the middle of the screen. No one of these buttons actually 
worked...

I have the screenshots of the problem and the "messages.log" file but I can not find a way to attach them to this 
issue...
