Bug 158960

Summary:	"Add Server" does not open dialog, raises NullPointerException

Description mishom 2009-02-23 03:06:19 UTC

Platform: 

NetBeans 6.5
Slackware Linux 12.2 (32bit)
Sun JDK 1.6.0_12 

Problem: 

Go to tab "Services", right-click on "Servers" and try "Add Server". No dialog appears and you got a Stop sign at the
bottom right corner. Click on it and it shows stack trace for a NullPointerException.
However, Adding Server seems broken only when the JDK is the latest 1.6.0_12, and it works fine if I revert to previous
build 1.6.0_11. It seems that JDK 1.6.0 Update 12 does not play well with NetBeans 6.5. Again, this does not happen with
JDK 1.6.0 Update 7 and 11, which I tested. Those work fine. 
Below is the stack trace.

Thanks,
Mihail Merdjanov

Comment 1 mishom 2009-02-23 17:21:14 UTC

I checked with my other PC, running Windows XP Pro, NetBeans 6.5 and JDK 1.6.0_12. It happens there too, and if I 
revert my JDK to the previous one - 1.6.0 Update 11, then it works fine.
So, apparently this problem is not OS dependent, just JDK dependent.

patch will be provided in two weeks.

Thanks for reporting the problem
