Description Kees van Ginkel 2000-11-27 13:52:09 UTC
The second time I try to compile/test a jsp page I get an error :

"Error compiling myjsp" in the status line.

There is an exception thrown in the log :
     [exec] java.lang.NullPointerException
     [exec]     at org.netbeans.modules.java.JExternalCompilerGroup.start
(JExternalCompilerGroup.java:114)
     [exec]     at
org.netbeans.core.compiler.CompilationEngineImpl$CompilerThread$GroupCompiler.ru
n(CompilationEngineImpl.java:255)

I am running a build 31-12 build (build from source)

The jsp is located in the examples/texteditor package, no other contends then
hello world.
Comment 1 Petr Jiricka 2000-11-27 14:08:59 UTC
NetBeans 3.1 branch
Comment 2 Kees van Ginkel 2000-11-29 14:30:59 UTC
Some more information :
- This only appears on windows NT, not on linux (no other platforms tested)
- changing the JSP compiler from FASTJAVAC to internal compiler solves the
problem.

regards,
Kees van Ginkel

This seems to be fixed in both NetBeans release 3.1 and the main trunk.

Fixed before 12-Dec-2000.
Comment 4 Quality Engineering 2003-07-02 08:27:47 UTC
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
