Description Milan Kubec 1999-03-24 19:29:11 UTC

Openning web browser window by some Help items (contents or tutorial)
throws exception and nothing is loaded and the window is very small.
Loading of other pages is OK.
Once opened web browser window is imposible to close.

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.netbeans.ide.awt.HtmlBrowser$9.run(Compiled Code)
        at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities.processRunnableEvent(Compiled Code)
        at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities.access$0(Compiled Code)
        at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities$RunnableTarget.processEvent(Compiled Code)
        at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code)
        at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code)
        at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code)
        at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Compiled Code)


The exception is OK, but now a new message window is shown:
The URL for specified help can not be found, and no web browser is opened at all.

[IAN] Temporarily removed documentation items
