This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I cannot open the IDE (not even from command line with an empty user directory). The IDE openes totally empty and I cannot open any project. There is an error icon in the bottom-right corner. When I click this image I get the next error message: "A java.lang.NullPointerException exception has occurred. Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/community/issues.html, including a copy of your messages.log file as an attachment. The messages.log file is located in your ...\.netbeans\6.0\var\log folder.". The last time when I used the Netbeans I wanted to debug one of my J2ME projects that wouldn't start for some reason (when I tried to run the project without debugging the default emulator closed once I pressed Launch button). When I tried to debug the project (I've put a breakpoint in the startApplication method of the MIDlet) suddenly the source code section and the preojects list disapeared and I could only see the buttons (such as "Projects", "Output", "Breakpoints" etc.) all grouped in the middle of the screen. No one of these buttons actually worked... I have the screenshots of the problem and the "messages.log" file but I can not find a way to attach them to this issue...
