Defenitely not p1 and not related to properties

Comment 2 Alexei Mokeev 2009-06-12 07:00:47 UTC

According to stack trace it may come from reglib -> ide/registration for evaluation.

Comment 3 mslama 2009-06-18 15:25:47 UTC

Missing version info. Please add NB version you use. The best is to add beginning of IDE log.

Comment 4 mslama 2009-06-18 15:37:12 UTC

It looks like xml config file is present but is empty. Workaround is to delete folder
$HOME/.netbeans-registration/<NB_VERSION NUMBER> eg.: $HOME/.netbeans-registration/6.5.

In Dec 2008 I added handling of empty registration.xml file. But in this case it looks like empty
$HOME/.netbeans-registration/6.7/status.xml so please first check this file if it is empty and if not what is its content.
