Happens whenever I try to go to the plugin manager. Fresh build. See attachment. *Not* fresh userdir.
Created attachment 55057 [details] NPE.txt
Created attachment 55058 [details] Ups, ignore previous one. This one is the right one.
I guess it was fixed 2008/01/14. Do you have 20080115 build?
This morning, two hours ago. 'cvs up' in $NB_SRC/autoupdate updates nothing, so I have freshest trunk. Anyway I've (finally) deleted my userdir and NPE has gone. So probably OK to downgrade, close, .... Sure, up to you...
I would say that problem was somewhere else then in: err.log (Level.FINEST, "getPeriod () returns " + getPreferences ().getInt (PROP_PERIOD, defaultCheckInterval)); defaultChekcInterval to be null (which is not possible now). According to the age of my userdir it could be in getPreferences() to be null as well.... It is something really odd, since when I put: System.out.println("getPreferences: " + getPreferences()); System.out.println("err: " + err); before the culprit line "err.log...." the NPE has gone as well with the same configuration. Huh? Closing until somebody else also reproduce this. Might be some oddity on my system(?) If it happen again with fresh userdir, I'll reopen.
