Description Jan Jancura 1999-09-27 21:06:47 UTC

When I use Applet debugger type for object which is not an applet, this exception occures:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.netbeans.developer.modules.applet.AppletSupport.generateHtml(AppletSupport.java:66)
        at com.netbeans.developer.modules.applet.AppletSupport.generateHtmlFileURL(AppletSupport.java:93)
        at com.netbeans.developer.modules.applet.AppletDebuggerType.getParameters(AppletDebuggerType.java:93)
        at com.netbeans.developer.modules.applet.AppletDebuggerType.startDebugger(AppletDebuggerType.java:69)
        at org.openide.loaders.ExecSupport.debug(ExecSupport.java:119)
        at org.openide.actions.DebuggerPerformer$StartDebugThread.run(DebuggerPerformer.java:293)


The better way is to catch this exception & throw DebuggerException (it will be catched in DebuggerPerformer & some dialog with notification occures).

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
