Description athompson 2007-07-31 20:00:38 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200707310000) Java: 1.5.0_12; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_12-b04 System:
Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Userdir: C:\Documents and Settings\alvin\.netbeans\dev

latest maven build (148)

my Maven projects have this directory structure:

project
  src
    main
    site
    test

if the 'site' folder is present and you try to open the project, an endless loop of NPEs makes the IDE unusable.

although the Maven changelog says that new icons were rolled back to fix an NPE, this looks very similar.
