Description emi 2008-10-16 15:56:36 UTC

Hy,

The CSS Editor logs too many exceptions in CssHelpResolver.getPropertyHelpURL() if docs/css21-spec.zip is missing and
thus HELP_URL==null.

The reason is that it tries to build an URL by appending "null" which fails with MalformedURLException. This exception
is logged every time document() is called basically (ie. every time the user switches the item in the completion list).

Attaching a patch that fixes this behavior. If HELP_URL==null there shouldn't be a documentation window and that's it.

Eventuall CssHelpResolver.getHelpZIPURL() could log a one-time warning that it is returning null if it's that important,
but I don't think it is needed.

Comment 2 Marek Fukala 2008-10-16 16:20:12 UTC

btw why is docs/css21-spec.zip missing???

Comment 3 emi 2008-10-16 20:16:11 UTC

In my case it's missing because I've packaged the files in my own way and excluded the docs/ folder.

So technically speaking this isn't a bug in a standard NetBeans install where you are guaranteed to have
docs/css21-spec.zip somewhere, but the code does have this bug if the file goes missing.

Comment 4 Marek Fukala 2008-10-16 21:08:22 UTC

Sure, I'll fix it. I just wanted to be sure there isn't another problem with the missing jar.
