Description authentictech 2016-09-07 20:19:09 UTC

Java: 1.8.0_101; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.101-b13

Steps to reproduce: 

1. Create an HTML5 project and a new HTML file.
2. Add the following code in the body:
  
  <object width="400" height="50" data="bookmark.swf"></object>

3. Set Netbeans to preview in the embedded webkit browser.
4. Run file.

Result: If the file referred to in the data attribute is missing on the file system, Netbeans crashes. This happens for any file or file type.

Alternatively, create an empty file with the name "bookmark.swf" in the working directory and Netbeans does not crash.

Also crashes for same reasons with an embed tag.

Does not crash if missing data is an image file.
