Please attach steps to reproduce this issue, I can't reproduce. I guess this issue is random, unfortunately there is not
enough info to find the source of the problem and fix.

Please reopen if you have reproducible scenario, thank you.

After updating auto update center plugins, I got about 70 more updates - one of them seems to make an invalid assignment
to an exeption's cause :(

Probably it is the Groovy & Grails plugin (I've already had problems with it, but that does not necessarily imply that
this bug is related to the module, of course).

The problem here is the missing stack trace because of the Runnable ...
Comment 5 Peter Nabbefeld 2008-10-21 11:14:56 UTC 
While working with NB, I've noticed that the exception occurs while selecting text or moving the mouse (don't know, if
it matters: I'm currently editing xslt files).
Comment 6 Peter Nabbefeld 2008-10-21 11:49:33 UTC 
Sorry for being so blind:
The bug is in openide.loaders (it has its own awt package). It happens because of a
ClassNotFoundException. This exception sets its Throwable cause to null; it cannot
be initialized then, as an uninitialized cause is signalled by t.getCause() = t

If this is fixed, the "correct" error message will help further.
Comment 7 Peter Nabbefeld 2008-10-23 08:16:46 UTC 
This bug is popping up again and again, cannot say why (because of #150969), thus IDE looks instable. Having it in daily
buid 200810211401, so I cannot tell if it's in RC1, too. Otherwise, I would have set this bug to P1 (IDE shouldn't be
released with this bug!). Will test this with RC build only after #150969 has been fixed.
Comment 8 Lukas Hasik 2008-11-03 09:43:28 UTC 
wasn't it fixed as part of 150969?
Comment 9 Petr Chytil 2008-11-21 08:36:53 UTC 
Please epdv, could you verify, that the issue is fixed?
Comment 10 David Simonek 2008-12-02 15:15:11 UTC 
150969 is now fixed and no newer reports here, so I assume problem was solved somehow. Please reopen with additional
info if bug strikes again - now when 150969 is fixed we should know better where the bug is.
